FEEDBACK MATTERS!

We need to further develop the beautiful systems and powerful practices for reviewing and developing the work that goes on in our schools, recognising and rewarding good teaching and great learning, and supporting the development of every young person and the whole school workforce.
We know from the work done by The Sutton Trust that feedback is one of the most effective interventions we can make in supporting learning and has a strong positive influence on all of us and on our work. Strong and effective feedback increases well-being, supports powerful learning and helps us all develop and grow. It is important that we make structured feedback an entitlement for every child and young person and our all colleagues in every school and we must ensure that everyone in schools receives recognition for their efforts. We must in particular recognise and reward everything that improves the quality of what happens in classrooms and particularly where colleagues show creativity, innovation and enterprise in teaching the hardest to teach and taking learning to the hardest to reach.
