Independent Leaning

We have updated our homework policy, Homework will now be referred to as Independent Learning and will follow new deadlines for setting and handing in work across all year groups. The times students are expected to spend on Independent Learning have also been revised. 

Please view the information below relevant to your son or daughter's year group.  Revising our homework policy was informed by extensive research and consultation into external and contextual narratives which feed into the current complexities of child mental health. We also considered how to best prepare our students for the learning and thinking they will need to do beyond their Townley journey as well as staying true to our Townley values. Tasks set as Independent Learning will range from critical reading, to research or project based work to revision or the application of skills.  If you have any questions, please contact Mrs H Ronan at hronan@townleygrammar.org.uk .
