New Curriculum Marking Policy
New Curriculum Marking Policy Mark in blue. Positive comments should be fronted with a star*. Negative comments should be fronted with a wish sign @. Pre-lesson – quality marking to identify any pre-teaching intervention needed, and next week focus. Use checklist (highlighted as below) – teacher only. Pre-teaching – ‘A’ as achieved. Literacy Specific Lesson teaching – highlight Learning Objective or/and Success Criteria identified as a class (children to write this at the top of their work). Highlighter: Green – LO achieved. Blank LO – not achieved. @ Wish needs to be an action (either from SC or to develop learning further if all SC achieved). CHILDREN NEED TO RESPOND TO THESE BEFORE THEY DO THEIR NEXT PIECE OF WORK SO THEY CAN APPLY THE LEARNING TO THE NEXT PIECE, THIS SHOWS PROGRESSION! NB: Response doesn’t need to be written – it can be verbal (VF) or by child to show it’s been read, progress should be evident as improvement in the next piece of writing.
(Literacy format of marking is the same for Science and topic work also) Numeracy Specific Lesson teaching – highlight Learning Objective or/and Success Criteria identified as a class (children to write this at the top of their work). Highlighter: Green – LO achieved. Blank LO – not achieved. Correct answers ticked, incorrect answers marked with a dot. @ Wish needs to be an action (either from SC or to develop learning further if all SC achieved).

Marking spellings - All phases: Focus on CEW/HFW spelled incorrectly (no more than three). KS1 – Underline misspelled word. Children need to find the correct spelling. LKS2 – Underline the part of the word that is wrong. Children need to find the correct spelling. UKS2 – Put a dot in the margin where there is a misspelled word. Children need to find the incorrect word and then find the correct spelling.
