SUBJECT TEACHERS The big difference between Hampstead and your primary school is that you have special teachers for each subject. So, instead of staying with one teacher in one room, you have to move from room to room, from teacher to teacher. It sounds very confusing, but you will soon get used to it! ACTIVITY: Please now watch the subject introductions HOME LEARNING You will be given home learning in every subject, and will always be given plenty of time to complete it. Home learning is set on Show My Homework. You will be able to access this easily and will be shown how to do this when you start at Hampstead School in September. Remember that you can use the Independent Learning Centre and subject home learning clubs to complete your work. THE INDEPENDENT LEARNING CENTRE The Independent Learning Centre is a welcoming space that you can use for independent learning and home learning. It is in the West Building and is open daily from 0800 - 1600, except on exception Fridays when it closes at 1450. The ILC is well used and well stocked with fiction and non - fiction books. It has facilities for borrowing books, research and internet access. Many students spend their break and lunchtimes in the ILC. You will also visit the ILC once a fortnight for reading lessons with your English class and we are sure that you will enjoy using this space. PARENT CONSULTATION EVENING This an opportunity, in the Spring term, to discuss your work and progress with all of your subject teachers and your parent/carer. It is a good time to see what is going well and how we can help you to do even better. We will also be running an Information Evening in October for your parent/carer to find out more about what you are studying and to sign up for extra curricular activities.
