Full description

Stop starting every comment from a blank page.

If marking essays and extended written responses is eating your evenings and weekends, Grade Flow gives you a repeatable system instead of more willpower. It’s built around one idea: separate the three jobs hiding inside every pile of marking - reading for content, checking spelling/grammar/punctuation, and writing feedback - so each one gets done in a fast, focused sweep instead of all at once, script by script.

What’s inside:

• The 3-Pass Feedback Framework - a step-by-step method for marking a class set in a fraction of the usual time, without cutting corners on feedback quality

• An annotated, worked example - a real student essay marked up start to finish so you can see exactly how the framework plays out on the page

• 8 copy-paste AI co-marking prompts - turn your own mark scheme and notes into a first-draft comment you edit, not one you write from scratch (works with Chat, Claude, or your school’s approved AI tool)

• 7 ready-to-use mark schemes / rubrics - covering essays, short answer, lab reports, class discussion, creative writing, oral presentations, and redrafts

• An 8-category comment bank - dozens of reusable, specific feedback lines organized by skill, ready to personalize and send

• Voice calibration guidance - so AI-assisted feedback still sounds like you, not a generic chat bot

• Before-and-after examples - see exactly what separates a raw AI draft from feedback that’s actually ready for a pupil

• A one-page quick reference card - print it and keep it next to your marking pile

This isn’t a tool that marks for you. It’s a system that removes the blank-page problem so your professional judgment goes further, faster.

Best for: KS 2 through KS 5 teachers marking essays, short-answer responses, lab reports, or extended written work - in any subject.

Format: single P D F, instant download, works alongside whatever mark scheme or assessment objectives you already use.
