Marking and Feedback at Bushey Meads School is viewed as an integral element in raising academic achievement. We believe that high quality marking and feedback allows students to progress their understanding, informs future planning and teaching, creates a dialogue between teachers, students and parents and enable students to be in charge of their own learning.
Three Marking and Feedback Fortnights take place every year and during each two week period marking and feedback is even more prevalent than usual. Time is created for staff to mark student work, tips on marking and feedback are publicised to share good practice and specific events planned to help make marking fun. Such things include:
Marking Parties
We have dedicated time to mark, moderate and collaborate with colleagues in our faculty.
Marking and Feedback Breakfasts
Breakfasts in the school restaurant replace staff briefings and staff mark work while enjoying a complimentary breakfast.
