At The Hyndburn Academy, we know that learning outside lesson time is essential to long-term academic success. It allows students to extend their learning and to reinforce what has been learned in class.
Homework is set via the Arbor App and parents/carers and students can see clearly what they have been set and the date due to be handed in.
