Learning at Home
Currently, students at Kelvin Hall School will be accessing the core of their learning in school. However, teachers continually add lesson material to Google Classroom for those students who may not be able to attend school. The same learning will be set for students in school and at home.
Google Classroom can be accessed using the Google Classroom app on phones and tablets, on a Chromebook, or on a laptop or desktop PC.
Please remember that for some periods, students have different subjects, so students may not always have the same lesson as their friends. Please ask students to check their personal timetables carefully so that they attend the right subject at the right time. These can be found in their planner or on their emails.
Homework
Homework is useful in helping pupils to develop and extend their learning in school, as well as encouraging the ability to learn independently. At Key Stage 4, it becomes even more important that pupils have developed the independent learning skills that they will need in the next step of their education or training.
Homework may be specific short tasks or may involve longer, extended pieces of work. Pupils will also regularly be given reading homework tasks in a number of subjects. We ask parents and carers to be involved in their children’s learning, by discussing homework with them and ensuring they keep up-to-date with deadlines.
Many homework tasks may involve using online resources and our school facilities offer the opportunity for pupils to remain behind after school to complete homework. We use a wide variety of online packages which pupils can easily access in school, in the library, from home or from mobile devices. Our aim is for all pupils to be able to easily access the necessary resources to complete homework successfully.
As of September 2025, students should complete homework using online platforms. These websites enable teachers to effectively track students' progress, and provide support where needed. The platforms used are the below:
For any queries about home learning and homework, students should contact their subject teacher in the first instance.
Alternatively, you can email homelearning@kelvinhall.net, and your query will be forwarded to the most relevant member of staff in school.
