Homework policy and timetable

Homework tasks for all year groups stem from the need to develop certain key areas of ability in history: source skills, extended writing and independent research. Homework is set weekly, although some homework tasks may be ongoing over a number of weeks if a student is working towards an assessment task or a major enquiry question for a sequence of lessons. Homework resources are available from lessons & ivohistory.com
