Homework

Homework is an important part of the curriculum at Arnold Hill Spencer Academy. We want to support all students to complete homework and also ensure that parents and carers are informed about the content and when homework is set.

 

Assignments – Homework at Arnold Hill Spencer Academy

At Arnold Hill we use School Synergy, an online tool to help you keep track of your child’s homework. Synergy will allow you to see the details of the tasks your child has been set, as well as their submission status and grades. All home learning is recorded on Synergy as an assignment.

We hope that this service will provide you with a deeper insight into the homework your child receives. More importantly, we hope that it will improve your child’s organisation, time-management, and help them to keep on top of their workload.

Students will continue to be rewarded with achievement points for handing in homework and extra effort for homework.

Students log in to Synergy using their school email address and their school computer password. If a student forgets their Arnold Hill login, this can be reset in school by the relevant Head of Year. The password cannot be changed outside of school.
