The schedule below shows you what independent study you should be completing each day.

This includes your online work such as Sparx Maths; subjects where you should use your KO followed by online quizzing (such as science and geography) and subjects where you should use some of the techniques detailed above in your Knowledge Organiser workbook.

The schedule also shows how long you should spend on each task, the day you are allocated time to complete the task and also the day the task needs to be handed in. Work in your KO workbook will be checked during tutor time each morning by your tutor and other tasks will be checked by your subject teachers. If you have not completed any of your independent study tasks, you will be required to attend a 1 hour detention the next day to catch up.

This is the timetable for Cycle 3, 2023-2024.  The most up-to-date version is in the front of the Knowledge Organisers for each cycle:

Who can help with my independent study?
There are lots of people who can help with your independent study.  Independent Study club runs every day from 3:05-4:00. There is a quiet space to work, computers to use for online tasks and members of staff available to help. It’s a great place to complete all your tasks for the day, leaving your evening free to enjoy your other interests.  If you need help with a particular task,  make sure to see your subject teachers before the hand-in-day and they will be happy to help with any issues. 

By using the schedule above, we hope you can plan to complete your independent study as well as still enjoying all your other interests, family and friends each day. If you do have any issues, please tell your tutor or head of year straight away.
