While the internet can provide a wealth of information and support for your child’s learning, it can also present dangers that parents and children need to be aware of. During PSHCE lessons, Computer Science lessons, assemblies and form time we will make our pupils aware of these online dangers. However, in order to support your child, we have provided some links below that you may find useful. Please click the images to visit each website.

After school, every day, you should learn knowledge from TWO subjects on your knowledge organiser each night. Your class teacher may set you specific tasks on Satchel One, linked to the knowledge that you will be expected to learn. The timetable below tells you which subjects you should focus on each night. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have that particular subject on that day, just follow the timetable for your home learning. You should spend half an hour on each subject. You may use your purple homework book to complete tasks neatly.
TIMETABLE OF SUBJECTS
Monday: English and Geography
Tuesday: Science and Art / DT / Food
Wednesday: Maths and History
Thursday: RE and Computer Science
Friday: MFL and Music / Drama
Reading at home
There is also an expectation that you
should read a book of your choice for
30 minutes everyday. This should be
signed off in your planner by a parent.

We use Satchel One as a platform for setting homework. Homework tasks should reinforce and build on the learning that has taken place in the lessons. Pupils in Year 7 – 9 are asked to look over their knowledge from two subjects each night according to the timetable below. We ask that they spend 30 minutes on each subject. Pupils all have a knowledge organiser which consolidates their knowledge. They are expected to read and learn key information and key vocabulary from their knowledge organisers to support their learning. Pupils in Year 10 and Year 11 will be set regular revision and homework linked to the GCSE courses that they are following.
Satchel:One Support
Satchel One – Pupils and parents are provided with login information for the Satchel One learning platform. Much of the homework set will appear here and you can check your child’s progress on their homework via the site. The links on this page provide further support where needed.
Further support can be found here: Satchel Help Center
Knowledge Organisers
All pupils in Years 7 to 10 have been given a Knowledge Organiser. They should bring the knowledge organiser to school every day and have it on their desk in lessons. They should then be taken home and used to support home study. The knowledge organiser contains the key information your child needs to learn in order to be successful within each subject. Pupils are expected to self-test using the cover, say, write, check method. They should spend 30 minutes on each subject as outlined above. Your child’s teachers will also spend time in lessons explaining how the information contained in the knowledge organisers relates to the learning that is taking place in class. This approach will allow your child to make the very best of their study time at home and it will equip them with the necessary knowledge they need to be successful in their future careers at St Monica’s.
