Homework

Homework is an extremely valuable part of learning at Goresbrook School. We want students to develop into young people who are able to manage their time effectively, maintain focus even when not in a school environment, and simply develop a work ethic that makes them stand out from the crowd. Students are therefore set homework every day. This is done according to a homework timetable so that they know which subjects they will have on a particular day. This means that parents can also check the homework. Please click here to view the homework timetable for Year 7,8, 9, 10 and 11.
