Homework Guidance

Homework and Online Learning

At Irlam and Cadishead Academy, we believe that independent learning encourages the development of personal skills and allows students to take more ownership of their education. 

Rewards are given for outstanding pieces of homework, and we encourage all parents to track their child's completion of homework on Arbor and Sparx. 

How can I find out more about my child’s homework?

Sparx Maths

Sparx Maths has been proven by the University of Cambridge to boost grades significantly. On the Sparx Maths website there is a section for parents outlining how you can help your child with their maths homework and how the programme works.  

Sparx Reader

The Sparx reader webpage for parents explains the purpose of the reading programme and how you can support your child with reading. 

Each week, you will receive an email from Sparx centrally that tells you about the maths, English and science homework. An image of that email is shown here.
