Homework

Homework is an essential part of learning as it provides an opportunity to consolidate and reflect on learning and to prepare for future learning. Homework develops valuable skills such as concentration, time management, research and academic rigour so that all students leave ready for study at college and future employment. Satchel:One is the online platform that The Oaks Academy will use for the setting and monitoring of homework.

Satchel:One

All staff will use Satchel:One to set homework, all students will use it as a means of accessing set homework and all parents will have access to see what work has been set. Students will be able to communicate with their teachers via Satchel:One. Please feel free to download the Satchel:One app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Or you can visit the website below to access the platform.
