ASSESSMENT AND REPORTINGEach year, parents receive written reports on the progress and achievements of theirchildren. They are invited to a consultation meeting with teachers to discuss the reportsand to other meetings on curriculum.HOMEWORKomework is seen to be part of the pupils’ development in independent learning.H Experience teaches us that good academic standards are achieved when homework isdone regularly and systematically. Homework each evening should increase gradually fromapproximately one hour in Year 7 to three hours in Years 10 and 11 when examinationrequirements dictate the amount set. All pupils are provided with planners to record homeworkset and parents are asked to check these each week.SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDSne of the main aims of Broughton Hall is that an entitlement to a broad, balanced and relevanteducation should be a right for all pupils in our school and that each pupil should haveOthe opportunity to access everything that the school offers. We strive to ensure that pupils whoare academically bright, or constrained by physical, emotional, intellectual or specific learningdifficulties will be able to maximise their potential.Most pupils with special needs can, and should, be helped under normal classroom conditions.However, it is sometimes necessary for certain pupils to have individual or small group tuition,which we are fortunate in being able to provide. This takes place up to 4 times a week in aselected area of the school which aims to promote a happy, sensitive and secure environment toensure the most effective learning. We teach Opening Minds in Year 7, Enquiring Minds in Year8 and Creative Minds in Year 9 with an alternative curriculum to benefit all student’s learningneeds. We want pupils to develop a positive self image and take advantage of the opportunitiesand resources available to them. We have a successful paired reading programme with helpfrom Year 12 pupils and opportunities for after school time tuition. We see parents as partners inthe learning process for their children, and will always be happy to discuss pupil learning difficulties,and meet parents in school, by appointment.The latest software in literacy and numeracy is available. Classroom Learning Assistants helpwith individual progress.
