Home Learning
At Hellesdon High School, we are committed to fostering your child's learning and development, both in and out of the classroom. Home learning serves as a bridge between school and home, reinforcing concepts taught in the classroom. It provides students with the opportunity to:
- Practice and consolidate skills learned in class.
- Develop independence and time-management skills.
- Encourage critical thinking and problem-solving.
- Involve families in the learning process, fostering collaboration.
Above all, home learning nurtures the acquisition of knowledge, which is foundational to your child's personal and academic growth.

ClassCharts
We use ClassCharts to set home learning tasks. Students and parents can check work set and due via their ClassCharts App. We use google classrooms and other platforms to complete assignments and to share classwork. Links will be posted in ClassCharts to take students to the different platforms for completion. All tasks will be set on Mondays with clear timescales and dates for completion/submission.
