Homework is very important

Students have settled in quickly within the first month of school after the summer holidays and we are already coming up to our first half term, which will commence from Monday 26th October to Tuesday 3rd November. Students will break up this Friday at the usual time. So far, this term has been a success and as you may or may not know there have been many improvements to the school compared to last term. This includes the new projectors in every class and new computer and IT resources. As well as the updated technology around the school, we have also made improvements to the science lab; which is being used more than ever before for beneficial practical learning skills which are particularly useful when it comes to GCSE practical examinations.
We would like to remind all students that we expect punctuality, uniform, homework and folders to be up to standards. Any student who does not meet the expectations will be asked to attend school on a Saturday. Be advised that spot checks will be taking place at random as well as folders and homework checks, so please ensure it is always organised. We would also like to inform you that we are pleased to introduce a homework service, which will give you an opportunity to know what homework has been set by each teacher for your child to complete. This new homework system will be starting soon.
At Oak Heights, we believe that homework is very important. We ensure that students have homework to complete every week and that it is complete up to standard. Our students understand that in order to achieve successful results, it is vital to complete class work as well as homework. As an independent school, Oak Heights has a high standard that must be attained throughout, this includes students; results, behaviour, discipline and homework. Homework is particularly important for the teachers to know that the students fully understand what they have learnt in class.
We look forward to seeing everybody happy and well after half term and most importantly fresh and ready learn. If you have any quires, feel free to contact the school via email for a swift reply. Alternatively you can call the school for an immediate response. It is important that parents communicate with us whenever necessary to prevent any misunderstandings and to review our student's progress. Thank you for your continuous support at Oak Heights.

Oak Heights School in Hounslow 2015

As well as being an independent school and tuition centre, Oak Heights Independent School, in Hounslow, West London, is also an official exam centre. This allows external students to sit most national exams and re-sits. Over the years we have become popular with the exam centre. With examinations being booked almost every day we advise students to apply as soon as possible before the initial deadline to prevent paying a late fee. With many years of experience, we are professional at ensuring that each student is being examined in quiet and fair conditions as advised by the exam boards.
At Oak Heights School, we aim for the best grades that every student is capable of achieving. Over the past years, students have been achieving top grades, exceeding the average marks and results, not only in the borough, but the whole of England. Thanks to our excellent teachers and top spec facilities, we will achieve even higher grades in the upcoming years. With regular mock examinations, parents will always be informed about their child's progress. We also offer free after school tuition classes for our students. This provides parents with the peace of mind that their children are participating in extra curricular activities and benefiting from it, all inclusively. . Oak Heights avoids the straight approach of learning solely for the purpose of passing relevant examinations and strives to implement innovative, fresh and cutting-edge methods of teaching so as to encourage broad-minded mentality and comprehension. Each student has their own special talents – some are brilliant at sport, others in drama and a few just have the innate ability to debate over anything and everything affecting society today. When it comes to teaching, emphasis is placed on examination technique, especially with the upper years. Past paper questions for homework and tests, once key topics have been covered. Teaching is carried out in small groups and designed to achieve rapid learning. All subject teachers are qualified and experienced but classes are closely monitored, regardless, by teaching assistants and the principle himself. Homework is set in all subjects and the School places particular importance on regular testing.
Oak Heights Tuition centre has taken it further, with Saturday classes instead of Friday night. Students will no longer need to stay after school on a Friday but come to school on a Saturday morning to attend the tuition classes. These classes are particularly important for the weaker students who lack understanding of homework or any outstanding class work. We also accept external students to attend these classes but be advised; places are filling up very quickly, so email us at enquires@oakheights.co.uk as soon as possible if you're interested.
