Closing the Gap with Feedback

Overview of the Aim for the Year: Feedback



Currently, there is a need at Rossett to consider how and why we give feedback in order to ensure it is being used effectively by both staff and students. Our aim for this academic year is to research various methods of ‘closing the gap’ between giving students feedback and them acting upon it in order to gain knowledge and understanding of what it is they could improve on. This should over time allow our students to become more responsible for improving their work, thus raising expectations and standards across the board. Students will become more resilient to meet these increasing standards and be able to reflect more effectively on their work, what they aim to achieve and how they will reach this goal.


In order to create this culture within the school, we aim to research, discuss and implement various strategies with our TLC groups that will suit individuals and faculties in order to improve their feedback to students and share good practice cross-curricularly. This will incorporate many different types of feedback, including written, oral, peer, self and e-feedback. We plan to deliver sessions with practical elements that staff can have a go at and demonstrate their own understanding of how these methods of feedback can work for them in ‘closing the gap’ for their students.
