Homework
Dear GA families
I hope that this letter finds you well and your child has had a successful first half term with us at Gloucester Academy.
Our homework model is absolutely key to ensure the students are able to climb the mountain to the best universities and professions. Therefore, please see below the expectation of homework during the October half term.
Knowledge Organiser (all years)
In preparation for your child's upcoming KIP assessments, all students will be expected to use their Knowledge Organiser booklets from this term to revise/revisit any key terms that they have not yet learned. They should continue to use the same process of reading the definition, covering the definition, writing out the definition and then checking for accuracy focusing mainly on the definitions that they have gotten wrong.

Sparx Maths will continue for all year groups over half term, with the deadline for each year group as follows:
