Following our successful recent Marking and Feedback Fortnight earlier this term, the week started on Monday with a concise summary from two of our Advanced Lead Teachers, highlighting some really successful practice that exists at BMS. The encouraging presentation took place in our Staff Briefing and was led by Miss Sumpter and Mr Harris.

Many staff are carefully building in Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time (DIRT) to their lessons and planning these moments in their schemes of learning to enable students to respond to green pen feedback and move their work to the next level. Often the student assessments are captured and ragged for ease of tracking. Sometimes these tracking sheets are shared with the students to encourage and support their progress over time as a visual way of indicating where improvements need to be made.
