Please note:
Holidays: During every holiday and on many weekends, we will offer revision sessions to
students in school. It is absolutely imperative that Year 11 students do not go on holiday
until they have finished their examinations in June. Taking holidays during these times
means that students miss a vital opportunity and can result in lower GCSE grades. Under
no circumstances should any Year 11 students go on holiday during term time.
HOMEWORK
Students in Year 11 will be set homework in all subjects each week. They are expected to
spend at least an hour and a half on each homework task set and on average, students
will be set two homeworks per night. Your son/daughter may be asked to spend time on
revision in addition to the homework tasks and as they approach their GCSEs, they will be
asked to complete past papers and exam questions which can often require more time.
Teachers will always seek to give students the appropriate amount of time in order to
complete work to the highest quality. Homework set in one week may be due to be handed
in the following week, in order to give GCSE students time at the weekend to complete it in
sufficient detail.
If your son/daughter is struggling to keep up with homework or you think that they are not
receiving enough, please contact Mrs Connolly, the Deputy Headteacher or the relevant
Head of Department.
There are two homework timetables included in this booklet: one for students in the Triple
Science class and the other showing the homework timetable for X and Y bands.
Pupils and parents can check the homework set by teachers on our online homework
calendar: https://btg.showmyhomework.co.uk.
Alternatively, if you log on to the school website (www.btg.ac) and click on the
showmyhomework logo, this will also take you to the calendar.
To check the homework set, please select the year group, subject and class. The online
calendar will also give you access to documents that may have been issued in class or
weblinks.
