Holmleigh Park High School

Homework

Students spend only a small fraction of their time at school. Homework is therefore an essential part of ensuring our students have the best chance of success.

Homework is a vital part of being successful at school, and makes a huge difference to your chances of success in Year 11 and Year 13. The table below summarises the homework we set for each year group. Please see the information below for details of the standards required in each subject.
