Tool · New for 2026–27

The Feedback Tool.

Targeted, EEF-aligned post-assessment feedback at scale. Removes the workload barrier between marking and meaningful next steps.

The problem

Marking has eaten feedback.

Every Head of Department knows the gap: assessments get marked, spreadsheets get filled in, data gets analysed… and then the actual next-step feedback for the student in front of you never quite happens. Workload kills it.

The EEF’s feedback research is clear about what works: specific, actionable, timely, focused on the gap rather than the grade. The Feedback Tool turns assessment data into exactly that — per student, per topic, in minutes rather than hours.

What it does

From assessment to action, automatically.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Drop in your assessment results — by class, by topic, by question. Works with any mark-scheme structure your department already uses.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    The tool identifies each student's specific topic-level gaps, weighted by the EEF's principles for high-impact feedback.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Generates targeted, student-facing next-step feedback — printable, parent-shareable, or fed into your existing LMS.

Working prototype

See it running on a real assessment.

Below is the working prototype configured for GCSE Quantitative Chemistry — one of the topics it’s currently being trialled on at Malmesbury School. Upload your own class data or use the sample to see how the DIRT (Directed Improvement and Reflection Time) feedback gets generated.

Open the prototype

This prototype demonstrates the full feedback flow for one topic. The production tool will support every subject and mark-scheme structure from launch in September 2026.
