This page describes when homework, which is called prep at Westbourne House, is completed.
Y5-8 prep is completed in either the daily catch up session or the prep session at the end of the day in form rooms. This is part of the school day.
Pupils in Years 5 and 6 hand in prep the day after the prep is timetabled. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 normally have one week to complete the prep set. Preps are sometimes set before the timetabled day.
Y6-8 day children, who are staying after school, are expected to do prep in the library from 5.40-6.20pm. This is optional.
Boarders in Years 3-5 do spellings, timetables and reading after tea in the Boarders Common Room and boarders in Years 6-8 do prep after tea in rooms M4-M7 in Main House.
