Homework
At Oasis Academy Coulsdon we are enthusiastic about the importance of home learning. To be able to fully understand and retain new information and knowledge, our young people will need to practice and further their skills at home.
At KS3 Core subjects (English, Maths and Science) and languages will set one piece of homework a week. All other departments will set one piece of homework a fortnight. Each piece of homework should take roughly 60 minutes to complete. Where possible at KS3 Core subjects will give one week for homework to be completed once set and two weeks for all other subjects.
At KS4 EBACC Subjects (English, Maths, Science, Language, and Geography/History) will set one piece of homework a week. The homework should take roughly an hour to complete. All other departments will set homework once a fortnight. Where possible, at KS4, all subjects will give one week for homework to be completed once set.
Where will homework be set?
The Academy uses a data management system called Bromcom. It is through this system that homework will be set.
Though we are using Bromcom and MCAS for the purposes of tracking, different departments will continue use a variety of platforms for completion and submission such as Teams, Formative, Forms, paper booklets etc. Details will be available on MCAS and Bromcom Student Portal or what has been set and the deadline for completion.
How can parents/carers see homework?
Bromcom links to the parent portal My Child At Schol (MCAS). Therefore, all parents/carers will be able to see homework set for their child through a new tab that will be activated on their child’s profile. Details on how to download the app can be found here: How to login and use the MCAS Web Parent Portal – Bromcom.
How can students access homework tasks?
For students, they too can download the Bromcom Student Portal on their iPad in School and on mobiles at home. Once downloaded, students will need to use the Magic Link and enter School ID: 11640
