Homework
At HABS, homework is set once per week for each subject between Years 7 and 13. The only exception is PE in Years 7 and 8, for which homework is not set.
Download our homework timetable for 2020-21.
All homework will be set using Microsoft Teams. Students will have to login to Microsoft Teams using their school email and password. Please click HERE for instructions on how to access Microsoft Teams. Homework can be found under the Assignments tab.
Each subject has an allocated day of the week where homework is set and checked by the teacher. Students have approximately one week to complete homework. If homework is set on a Wednesday, then the deadline for that homework will be at 8pm the following Tuesday. Please see the examples in the table below for further clarification.

The homework timetable indicates the day that homework will be set and checked for each class. Guidelines for teachers setting homework are:
- Homework should take around 30 minutes
- Homework should consist of a Section A, where pupils will answer recall questions and answers are provided, and a Section B where students will be given a task to apply their knowledge.
- If homework is to be completed on a website, such as Hegarty Maths, clear instructions will be given to pupils on Microsoft Teams.
- The deadline set on Microsoft Teams homework assignments is 8:00pm the evening before the homework is due to be checked.
Pupils have approximately one week to complete the homework and are encouraged to manage their time well so that if they have any queries about the homework, they can ask teachers in class or via message on MS teams in advance of the deadline.
Any homework that is not attempted will be recorded by the classroom teacher on the day that it is due to be checked and a 45-minute detention will be set for that same day. Parents will be informed via text.
Should there be any problems with logging in or accessing MS Teams please ensure you have read through the guide HERE. If you are still having issues please email info@harrisbattersea.org.uk with your child’s full name, their year group and a description of the issue.
