RRR Tasks
At our school, pupils are expected to complete work outside of their timetable lessons. These activities are set to include 3 different types of activity. Retrieval, Repetition, and Reading tasks.
What is RRR?
Retrieval
Pupils’ complete tasks that require them to recall and apply knowledge they have previously learned.
Repetition
These tasks involve practicing specific activities to reinforce knowledge and understanding, helping pupils commit what they’ve learned to long-term memory.
Reading
Reading tasks emphasize the importance of literacy across all subjects, exposing pupils to subject-specific vocabulary in a variety of contexts.
These activities are set by all subject areas throughout the school year with a clear purpose, directly linked to the knowledge and skills needed in different subjects. Additionally, we encourage all pupils to read independently for at least 20 minutes every day.
How RRR Tasks Work
- Edulink: All RRR tasks are assigned through Edulink, our communication platform. Each task will indicate which “R” is the focus and include a deadline set by the teacher.
- Completion: Pupils should tick off tasks on Edulink once completed. Teachers will also confirm completion.
- Location: Pupils are expected to complete RRR tasks at home or during RRR enrichment opportunities before school, at lunchtimes, or after school. The enrichment timetable provides further details.
Homework Expectations
Timetables: KS3 have a shared homework timetable. KS4 is more flexible and will be shared by classroom teachers. KS4 homework is inclusive of a fourth activity type, Revision.

Location: Pupils are expected to complete homework tasks at home or during our enrichment opportunities before school, at lunchtimes, or after school. The enrichment timetable provides further details.
