Ending on a High!
Our concluding Friday Faculty Focus at the end of this year’s first very successful Marking and Feedback Fortnight of the academic year shared some superb best practice from the Design and Technology Faculty related to facilitating high quality peer feedback.
Mrs Hewitt highlighted a number of examples provided by teachers from across the faculty including the use of teacher prompts, references to clear success criteria, checklists and encouraging online feedback using our google platform for learning. 
It was very powerful and encouraged all staff to continue moving this important agenda in school to the next level.
