Why is Home Learning Important?

Independent work is shown on average to improve the rate of learning by 15%, which is about an additional year of learning throughout school. (John Hattie) or an additional 5 months of progress (Educational Endowment Foundation). 

In addition, independent work develops student’s self-management and independent skills inline with our core curriculum. 

Access 

All students have been given an Office 365 login and password which they can use to gain access to the Student Portal and Online Office Software.

Any IT issue you may have then please email: itsupport@smestow.uwmat.co.uk where you will be asked a few questions to pass the safeguarding check.

Students in these year groups will have a Menu of tasks for each half term to complete with the following instructions for each Menu:

1. Each menu lasts for Half a Term
2. Students must complete a minimum of 5 Stars worth of tasks per menu – it is up to students which tasks they wish to complete to make up the 5 Stars
3. Work must be submitted to their classroom teacher via email. This is to protect both students and teaching staff during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This can be photographs or documents.
