Literacy Across The Curriculum Feedback for Literacy

Feedback for Literacy Across the Curriculum aims to increase pupils ability to communicate their

knowledge and understanding effectively across all subjects.

This Standard of Performance aims to provide feedback to pupils that will help complement subject

knowledge and improve their use of Literacy across all subjects.

Aims

To create an effective whole school approach to feedback for literacy that is consistent,purposeful and easily interpreted by pupils, teachers and parents.

To give common feedback to pupils that will help them improve their use of literacy in allsubjects.

Key Marking Principles:

A focus on literacy skills that coincides with the meaning and purpose of the work. Marking is done selectively, with colleagues using their judgement in choosing the focus. For

example, the focus could be on the first two paragraphs, or high frequency words, or subject

specific vocabulary of each key piece of work.

The literacy marking focus and success criteria should be shared with pupils prior to anyassessment taking place.

Time needs to be built into lessons to allow pupils chances to actively respond to thefeedback given and improve their skills.

Standard of Performance

All staff will use the following system of abbreviations when marking pupils written work for literacy:
