Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA)

Marking and Feedback

To ensure all stages of the RARPA process are met we require tutors to mark work (where appropriate), and to provide all learners with high quality feedback on any assessed work / learning activities:

  • feedback can be verbal or written, through peer marking or self assessment 

  • feedback should be clear on where a learner has done well and provide guidance on how a learner can improve

  • feedback should include areas such as English and maths, especially grammar, spelling and basic arithmetic (where appropriate)

  • feedback should include areas where  learners can develop their skills/understanding/knowledge independently.

Marking will also enable tutors to plan future learning for groups and individuals.
