        Compulsory Homework

            Article Summary

            In order to complete homework students must answer all of the questions in their Compulsory Homework correctly. 

            Compulsory Homework is made up of two main elements:

            In Focus topics are the topics you have put into weekly homework for the class and take up around 60% of the homework. You can see what these are each week on the Planner page on your Sparx site. 

            Consolidation topics take up around 40% of the homework. Find out more about the consolidation element of homework in the article: What is consolidation?

            Times tables can also be added to Compulsory Homework

            You can also add Times tables to your Compulsory homework by going to the Class Manager page and choosing to turn the Additional times tables task in homework on

            How long does compulsory homework take?

            Our research indicates that completing 60 minutes of homework each week has a significant impact on student attainment so the default homework length in Sparx is 60 minutes. You can change this, however, either permanently on the Class Manager page, or on a weekly basis on the Planner page.
