How marking works

Tasks with a right answer are marked the moment pupils hand in. Written tasks are marked by AI if you choose it, with feedback for the pupil, and the mark shows straight away unless your school holds AI marks for a teacher to review. Otherwise they wait for you. Files and recordings are always marked by you.

On paper

Print a paper copy for any pupil who cannot do it online. Scan it when it comes back and it is handed in for them, marked like the online version.
