Effective Marking

“Imagine what a difference it would make if all children knew what they were good at and knew what they had to do to improve”.

At Cheriton Primary School we are committed to providing relevant and timely feedback to pupils, both orally and in writing. Research shows that marking is an important factor in pupils’ learning.

Teachers mark pieces of work and encourage pupils to respond to comments that are designed to take learning forwards. Pupil responses are completed in a ‘coloured pen’.

Carefully designed stickers are used for both praise and to reinforce the marking of children’s work.

Below are some examples of how we use effective marking at Cheriton Primary School:
