What is Feedback?

Feedback is information given to a child about their performance in relation to a learning goal or outcome; it is underpinned by the assessment strategies that have been implemented, to arrive at a judgement as to how and when it should be given (please see our separate Assessment Policy to explore how we do this). It should aim to produce an improvement in children’s learning by redirecting or refocusing what they do with and how they approach their learning to achieve a goal. The feedback can be focused on the endpoint or process of an activity, or how the child manages their approach to learning (self-regulation).

Evidence-Informed Practice

Key research by The Education Endowment Foundation highlights that feedback across the curriculum has a beneficial impact on all learners and is even stronger when it combines metacognition (thinking about our learning approach) and self-regulation (doing something about what we have thought about). This means that regardless of year group or subject, feedback plays a key role in every child’s learning experience at St Nicholas, in order that they recognise success and continue to move forward on their ambitious learning journey.
