This work should amount to a minimum of 1 hour a week for Year 7 and 2 hours a week for Year 8.

The completion of this work is an expectation for all our students in these year groups.  We do however want our students to go beyond the minimum and be inspired to work hard.  Opportunities for extra work will be available across their curriculum and we look to celebrate those student who go above and beyond the required levels of independent work.
