Homework

The EEF have consistently championed the role of homework in the performance of secondary school students, especially when closing the academic gap for the disadvantaged.

The AHS homework policy is designed to ensure all students can complete homework, it helps them develop independent learning skills/self-discipline in preparation for later life and allows for better academic outcomes for all students.
