Marking codes

Pupils have their writing/work returned with feedback indicated using a marking code. Pupils write What Went Well and Even Better If to respond to this. Saves time lost through teacher providing repeated feedback, and pupils engage more with feedback. Can be used for peer and self-assessment.
