New online learning platform

Dear Parent,

Over the past few weeks, we have been setting up your child on our new online learning platform, Seneca. This platform will now be used to set and collect homework for students in Years 7, 8, and 9.

How it will work in Years 7, 8 and 9:

• All subjects will set homework on Mondays, regardless of when the lesson takes place during the week.
• Students will have one week to complete their homework.
• All homework must be submitted via Seneca by the following Monday.

Years 10 and 11:

For students in Years 10 and 11, Seneca will be used alongside traditional book-based homework. The format may vary depending on the subject and its curriculum requirements.

Additional Benefits:

Seneca is not just for homework. Students in all year groups can also use it for independent revision, helping them prepare for:

• Topic tests
• In-year assessments
• End-of-year exams

Support for Students:

To ensure all students can access and complete their homework:

• A lunchtime homework club will run daily in an IT room.
• Staff will be available to offer support during these sessions.

If you have any concerns about access to a device or the internet at home, please contact us as soon as possible so we can support your child.

Thank you for your continued support.
