At Brentside High School we value home learning as an opportunity to ensure that the progress and achievement of students is systematically supported and encouraged beyond the classroom.

We value the support of parents and carers in the following areas in particular

• Checking the quality of presentation and content of all the homework being returned to school
• Encouraging children to produce all homework to the best of their ability
• Signing the student planner each week

Providing the school with information about any points of note or concerns and communicating this through the student planner, in the first instance, or by contacting the school directly.

Classcharts

At Brentside we use an online system called Classcharts for recording and tracking homework.

This allows you to access homework as a parent or student via our website or as a mobile phone application.

By downloading the Classcharts app onto your phone, you can access your child's timetable and details of the homework being set by teachers.  The app will help you to support your child's learning and progress at school.  

You will need to input the Parent access code into the app- which is exclusive to your child only. If you have more than one child at the school, then you will need to input separate Parent access codes for each of your children.

If you have any further questions, or require an Parent access code, please email info@brentsidehigh.ealing.sch.uk

Your log in details will be sent to you via your child.  If you require an additional copy of login details, please email your child's tutor, Year Leader or info@brentsidehigh.ealing.sch.uk.

Being logged in will make it easier for you to see the homework set for your child, and using the application on your phone allows you to have reminder notifications when homework is due and when merits have been rewarded to your child.

The homework timetable will vary according to the year group of your child and the subject.

We have fixed time allocations per subject per fortnight to support parents and students in managing the workload.

Subjects with greater curriculum time will have more homework time allocated to them.

The timings and frequency of homework are allocated to each subject for Years 7 to 11.

Years 12 and 13 will receive homework every lesson they are taught.
