Homework and links to helpful websites

Each department has a clear homework policy and these form part of the whole school policy. 

The basic principles are

  1. We believe that homework is useful training for study
  2. We believe that homework can allow for practice of skills out with the classroom
  3. We try to tailor homework to the individual’s needs and ability
  4. We encourage return of homework on time
  5. We communicate with parents if there is a problem with homework
  6. If parents insist that a child should not do homework we will accept that decision but make it clear that this will considerably reduce the chances of success in the course

Microsoft Word is required to read some these documents - get a free downloadable viewer

Microsoft Powerpoint is required to view some of these files - download a free powerpoint viewer

Study skills for dyslexic students - a multi-sensory, interactive site to help dyslexic students with reading, writing and referencing. Although designed for students in higher education it is also suitable for more able 5th /6th year students with dyslexia/writing problems

Supported Study Materials are also available in the Bo'ness Academy Library
