Homework
KS3
At Stoke Damerel Community College we use homework to ensure that students are best equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the curriculum.
Sparx
In KS3, students now complete homework via two online platforms.
Sparx has individual platforms for English, Maths and Science.
Students are set work each Friday and are expected to complete the work before the following Friday at 4pm. A recommended calendar for students is included below.
Sparx uses AI to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each student individually, and thus cater a programme of study that best suits their needs.
Carousel
For other subjects at KS3 we use Carousel Learning
Carousel is a platform that allows students to revise key facts about their lessons and then quiz themselves.
These homeworks directly tie into activities completed within lessons and are adapted based on how well students are learning key content.
Students are set work each day, due for the corresponding day the following week.
