| Brompton Academy Home Study

How can you support your child? There are various ways in which you can help your child with their work. Please talk to your child about their learning and check the following things:

Your child will be required to complete home learning activities whilst at the Academy. This is often completed on their iPad. Home study can come in a variety of different forms such as creating posters and mind maps, to completing independent research, pre-reading tasks and past paper exam questions.

• Check they are enjoying their time at the Academy. • Check that they feel positive about the teaching and lessons. • Check their books are marked. • Help your child to read at home. • Check that they take the correct equipment necessary for a good start to each lesson every day, i.e. charged iPad kept in its Academy approved case and looked after carefully. Pen, pencil, ruler, eraser, sharpener, PE kit (if necessary), etc. • Check that they are wearing the correct uniform.

• Keep a copy of their timetable on the wall at home or stored on a mobile device so you can access this easily. • Come to regular parent/carer consultation evenings to motivate and support your child. • Attend Family and Adult Learning opportunities to help you support your child’s learning, as we offer bespoke learning programmes that will have a direct impact on your child’s learning at the Academy. In addition, it is important that you praise, encourage and teach self-discipline to your child. Guide them to always be polite and respectful of fellow students and staff alike.
