Impact questions, mapped to existing measures

QuestionExisting measure (no new data)Healthy signal
Are pupils responding to feedback?R-gate chains in books; EFL/digital capture where it already exists (code E)Rising proportion of NS+ with a visible own-colour response; R never present without Voice
Is learning moving?Itslearning judgements: emerging → developing → secure → exceeding; STAR assessment repeatsMovement along the Itslearning scale between data drops; STAR repeats trending up against each pupil's own baseline
Is provision changing because of pupil Voice?IEDP and APDR review cycles; EHCP annual reviews; PfA targetsTargets and provision entries that cite what the pupil did or said, not only what adults observed
Is workload falling, not relocating?Termly staff pulse (see monitoring crib); QA coaching notesStaff report less written marking and more received responses; no parallel evidence folders appearing
Do pupils understand the loop?Pupil voice during QA visits; passport languagePupils can name their last next step and what they did about it, in their own words
The core claim, falsifiably stated: if the loop is working, the same pupil closes the same class of gap in fewer attempts over a term — visible in their book, their Itslearning judgement and their STAR repeat, without any measure invented for the purpose.
What we will not do: count Rs, set loop quotas, or build a tracker. The moment the measure becomes the target, R becomes decoration and the framework has failed by its own definition.
