Independent Learning Tasks (or ILT) is seen as an important part of the learning process, and so all students are expected to develop the ability to extend and organise their own work, to search for information and to solve problems.  The amount of time we expect to be devoted to ILT increases from an hour each night in Year 7 up to 3 hours a night for GCSE students. ILT forms a vital part of the study necessary to ensure the successful completion of a GCSE course. 

Students should be given every encouragement to complete their ILT in a place where they are not disturbed.  If there are occasions when this proves difficult students are able to use the College’s Learning Resource Centre.  

Every student is given a College planner in which they record the ILT's set each day.  We ask parents to look at the planners at least weekly and to use them as a means of communicating with the teaching staff.
