ExploreEffective Feedback & Marking Training
Feedback is one of the most powerful things a teacher does, and one of the biggest sources of workload. Too many schools mark too much, to too little effect. This training helps your staff give feedback that improves learning while cutting the marking burden that drives teachers out.
Below, we explain what our feedback and marking training involves, and how it helps you improve learning and reduce workload.
What Is Effective Feedback & Marking Training?
It’s practical training that helps teachers give effective feedback without excessive marking. We cover what makes feedback work, live and whole-class feedback, reducing written marking, helping pupils act on feedback, and building a feedback policy that improves learning rather than generating workload.
We ground it in the evidence on feedback and tailor it to your phase, subjects, and current marking policy.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, subject teams, and senior leaders reviewing their marking policy. Trusts often run it across schools for a consistent approach.
Many schools ask for it to cut marking workload, improve the impact of feedback, or rewrite their feedback policy.
