Homework at CNS
At City of Norwich School homework is published for students and parents via ShowMyHomework, a service that is part of the Satchel:One website and app.
Homework is a key part of our curriculum and focuses on consolidating and applying learning from lessons, as well as preparing students for future learning.
How much homework are students set? Homework is planned by teachers so that it support in class learning, and as such homework is set at appropriate points during the learning rather than on a set day for each subject. Each subject sets an identified amount of homework per week, and the table below outlines this.
