Mrs+Furness+-+Mathematics

It is expected that a student may seek help with their homework from time to time; preferably from a parent or teacher. It is better to come for help than to worry. Failure to submit homework on time will result in no mark. This can be avoided if a student comes to see me with a valid reason //before// the lesson on which it is due.
