Homework at JCA

Homework forms a really important part of a secondary-age student’s learning. It helps them remember the important content of each subject, and it is also about taking responsibility for learning, time management, meeting deadlines and seeking help.

Our students receive one piece of homework in every subject every week, and have one week to complete it.

Usually homework is a task or practice quiz set on Bromcom (English, history, RP, geography, music, drama, creative design, Spanish, science). Maths work is completed on a paper worksheet.

Parents and carers can see what’s been set on Bromcom, via MCAS. For information on how to install/use MCAS, please see here: https://johncabotacademy.clf.uk/our-academy/parent-apps-websites/

If you are stuck or need any help with homework on MCAS, please email JCAinfo@clf.uk and put ‘homework’ as the subject.
