Homework

PREP

At Hylands we focus on ‘PREP’ rather than the traditional ‘homework’. PREP is what we do with important information we have learnt during the school day and how we prepare for the next day of learning. Evidence suggests that we only retain 50% of the information we learnt yesterday and after a week, we only retain 10%. The only way we can move the information we have learnt into long-term memory is through re-visiting the information 4 or 5 times over a number of weeks.

PREP will either be uploaded to your child’s google classroom or given to them in lesson. We encourage students to PREP each evening.

Google School

We are a Google school and your child will be given a username and password which will allow them to access bespoke Google classrooms for each of their subjects. Staff upload lessons, information and PREP onto Google classroom. They will have access to the entire Google education suite to support their learning. During the pandemic we were very proud that we ran live lessons through Google Meet which were very successful.
