Green Pen Marking
What is green pen marking?
It is a specific form of marking by children to move their learning
forward, where the children takes responsibility for improving their
own work, alongside the teacher. The whole school is involved in this
and as a result we have improved the consistency of marking &
feedback across the year groups and school.
