Homework Club

Leeds Refugee Forum’s Homework Club is a weekly drop-in session supporting children from Year 1 to Year 6 with English and Maths.

The Club offers a safe and supportive environment for children to have fun and develop their skills and confidence. Alongside academic support in maths and English, we also offer activities such as active games and quizzes, encouraging children to make friends from different communities and bond with their peers.

The Homework Club runs twice a week during term time thanks to our team of dedicated volunteers.

First of all I want to say a huge thanks for your hard work in supporting my children as they develop their skill and knowledge. I really appreciate you. It is helpful. It has been a great experience which can help my children to revise their lessons properly. They honestly would have never passed their exam if it was not your help! Your teaching methods are great, very clear and concise. You don’t waste hours explaining meaningless background. Your manner of teaching is also wonderful and refreshing. You are patient and supportive and really know how to motivate your students and great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities that improve conversation, writing and reading. Keep doing the good things. We are glad to have you beside us! Teame Service User and parent of children at the Homework Club and Youth Group

Youth Group

We offer free one to one academic support for year 7 up to A levels through our Youth Tutoring sessions. Our one to one support is offered through Zoom and we work closely with students and parents from households that experience numerous barriers including language and integration.

It’s very good, my children are happy. The tutors helped my kids a lot. It is good for me as a mother because every week I have some time when my son and daughter are doing English and Homework Club. Hilda Service User and parent of students at the Homework Club and Youth Group

HOMEWORK CLUB

Where personalised learning takes centre stage.

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of every student through practice and consolidation of the work a pupil covers in school.

When you subscribe, your child gets an invitation, every week, to a live one hour revision lesson. The live nature of the lesson encourages participation by your child, that a work sheet plonked in front of them just can’t compete with.

An hour of one to one tutoring by a professional tutor costs about the same as the 36 hours of weekly lessons on Homework Club.

We suggest you buy a new exercise book for your child to do the work in . Watch their progress as they mark and self-asses their weekly exercises. Part of Homework Club philosophy is that pupil’s mark their work, assess and monitor their progress and then fill in the gaps using the free resources that you can find in useful link section.

This is an important year when many schools start their GCSE courses, and the foundations are laid for success in year 11.

The bulk of the teaching for GCSE’s takes place in this year.

In this year, the higher-level topics are studied. Revision and consolidation take place, before the summer exams.

HOW IT WORKS

Homework Club run 36 weekly lessons for GCSE students in years 9, 10 & 11. Each lesson lasts one hour and is presented live by our team of experienced and qualified teachers. These 36 lessons are split into 3 terms AUTUMN, SPRING and SUMMER. Each year group have their lessons at the same set time each week.

The Lessons are presented live. To access these lessons you will need to subscribe to our site and also have access to MICROSOFT Teams. (MS Teams can be down loaded free by Clicking Here .)

Each week you will be sent an appointment on Teams. You will then join the meeting and participate in the homework lesson.

LET’S LOOK AT A TYPICAL LESSON, IN THIS CASE MATHS

A TYPICAL LESSON

The teacher says hi and explains what we will be looking at in today’s lesson. (1 minute)

The topic that you will already have learnt at your school will be revised and re-explained. (10mins)

Students will make a start on the embedded or downloadable exercise. (39 mins)

Hopefully the student can work through the exercise without help and will do so with the volume muted.

Roughly 8 – 10 minutes after the CONSOLIDATION exercise has started, the teacher will begin to go through each question for those pupils who are struggling with the work. This HEADSTART forces students to look and attempt the exercise without assistance, but they know that an explanation is on its way. (31 mins)

Ten minutes from the end of the lesson the teacher will conclude the lesson. In maths this might include an explanation of the tough extension questions.

Importantly, it will always involve the answers being read out. Pupils then mark their work and assess their own learning. (10 mins)

In maths it’s easy to see how you did. Did you need theHEADSTART explanations? If you did then perhaps you still need extra consolidation, where might you find this? How about looking at our useful links.

See you next week : Same time, same place.
