planning’

Pupils work:

frequency or quantity of work in
pupils’ books or folders’

Feedback:
‘There is no expectation to see unnecessary or extensive
written dialogue between teachers and pupils in exercise
books and folders. Ofsted recognises the importance of
different forms of feedback and inspectors will look at
how these are used to promote learning.’
