Ways to use SAM Learning

1. Do whatever has been set as homework by your teacher

2. Independently choose topics that you know you are weak on and revise those

3. RAG your revision guide, revise that topic, then choose topics from SAM Learning that you are weak on to test your knowledge

SAM Learning:

Will help as part of a balanced

homework diet

Might suit students

who don’t like

traditional homework

Won’t teach you anything on its own;

but is a good test of what you know

1. Contact your child’s subject teacher if there is a subject specific issue

2. Contact your child’s form tutor if there are ‘across the board’ issues that are not concerned with just one subject

3. Any further issues with homework contact Stephen Richards, Deputy Headteacher: stephen.richards@taw.org.uk

Concerned about homework?

Can we have your feedback and views please!
