Homework
In Mosslands, we use the online learning platform SPARX to set homework, helping to reinforce classroom learning and develop independent study skills. Homework is assigned once a week on a Tuesday and is due the following Tuesday. The carefully sequenced tasks on SPARX challenge students and deepen their understanding of key concepts. By completing their weekly homework, students build responsibility, time management, and independent problem-solving abilities, all essential for academic success. Support is always available from the Maths team to ensure students can approach their homework with confidence.
