Regular pupil feedback

Feedback is planned: • Teachers monitor whether children and young people are effectively using it. They consider individual motivation, self-confidence and the capacity to receive information.

Our teachers carefully follow the School Feedback Policy which has been designed to promote and exemplify the principles of effective feedback.

Feedback is timed: • Teachers consider the characteristics of the task set, the individual, and the collective understanding of the class to judge whether more immediate or delayed feedback is required. • Feedback focuses on moving learning forward, targeting the specific learning gaps that children or young people have. • Teachers avoid feedback that focuses on personal characteristics, or that offers only general and vague remarks.

Verbal Feedback methods are used more frequently than written feedback, are timed appropriately, focus on the task, subject, and/or self-regulation, and are then used by children and young people to facilitate progress.

Written Feedback methods (e.g. written comments, marks, and scores) focus on the task, subject, and/or self-regulation, and are then used by children and young people to facilitate progress.
