Feedback
At Green Gates, we believe that effective and
regular feedback is essential in ensuring that
children make rapid progress across all areas of the
curriculum. All work that children produce must be
given feedback so that children know whether they
have achieved the learning objective and what they
need to do in order to improve further.
Feedback is given to all children regularly and
consistently in line with our feedback policy.

✦ The sole focus of feedback and marking is to
provide specific guidance on how a child can
improve;
✦ Marking and feedback should show that we value
the children’s work and encourage them to value
it too;
✦ It should highlight how far in their learning a
child has come;
✦ It may redirect the teacher’s planning or pupil’s
learning journey, depending on what they have
achieved;
✦ Feedback delivered closest to the point of action
is most effective;
✦ Self and peer assessment plays an important role
in pupil’s progress.
