Marking Policy

We have a Marking Policy which is geared to providing an evaluation of your child’s progress. ‘Learning
Intentions’ and a clear set of ‘Success Criteria’ are set at the beginning of each lesson to ensure that
children are aware of what they are aiming for.

You may see various types of marking when looking at your child’s work. Not everything is corrected
in every piece of work. The staff target a number of specific things for that particular lesson and these
are marked e.g. sentence construction may be identified as the Learning Intention, so this alone will
be marked (not spellings or handwriting - these will be identified on other occasions and marked
accordingly.)

If you see spellings uncorrected in your child’s work it does not mean that the teacher has missed
them. It indicates that the focus for marking was something other than spellings for that lesson.

Children are given achievement stickers, stars and house points for effort and hard work. Particular
achievements are recognised by the child visiting Mr Rawlings for a special sticker.

Please see the full Marking Policy on our website for further details.
