Fast
Guaranteed to reduce the amount of time you spend ‘marking’ books.

Logical
Meaningful assessments systems that inform future planning.

Aspirational
Students will become competent with self-assessment and reviewing their own work independently. They will know WHAT but also HOW to improve.

Student
Students will develop their metacognition, especially using it throughout the planning, writing, reflection stages of FLASH Student Cycle. They will be more able to articulate the way they think about their own work and skill development.

Help
Personalised feedback so DIRT time is targeted, effective and reduced.
WHY FLASH
Create a shared language in your classroom with skill based feedback using short codes.
Teachers offer skills-based feedback rather than grades in KS3 and KS4 English lessons.
The skills required to access the top bands of GCSE English and English Literature performance are been translated into short codes that teachers use when ‘marking’ work.
FLASH codes are used in lessons to explicitly teach these skills.

Builds Confidence
Using FLASH as a structure allows students to feel secure in knowing how they should respond to questions with a structure that isn't prescriptive.
