What happens when I get feedback
Three A4 one-pagers — BUILD (symbol-supported), GROW (plain language), LAUNCH (exam-linked). Print the page each class needs; stick in books or on the wall at pupil eye level.
When I get feedback…
🛡️1 · I am ready
Safe. Calm. My things ready.
🗣️2 · I have a go
I fix it, show it, or say it.
👀3 · My adult sees it
They really look and listen.
➡️4 · Something changes
My next job fits me better.
💚 Having a go is the win. Getting it wrong first is part of the loop — that is how the loop knows what to do next.
I can say: "Can you watch me try again?" · "I did my next step!" · "I need help to start."
Feedback isn't finished until I've answered it
SPACEI'm set up to succeed — calm, ready, enough time
VOICEI respond — fix it, redo it, explain it, try again
AUDIENCEMy teacher genuinely checks my response
INFLUENCEWhat I did changes what we do next
When you see NS+ in your book, that's your one next step. Do something about it — that's your Voice. When your teacher has really seen your response, you'll get R. R is yours to earn: it means you closed the loop.
Things you can say: "What's my next step?" · "Can you check my correction?" · "I've responded — can I get my R?"
Why it matters: your responses genuinely change your lessons. When you fix something, your teacher plans differently. Your voice steers the ship.

ChainsWeeks of closed loops = your personalised revision list
Every closed loop is an exam question you won't lose marks on twice. Flick back through your chains before a mock: the yellow NS+ marks are literally a map of your old gaps — and the purple pen shows you've already closed them.
Own the loop: "Can you check my correction so it's an R?" is one of the most exam-smart questions you can ask. So is "What's the pattern in my NS+ marks this term?"
The honest deal: we won't waste your time with marking that doesn't change anything. In return, your job is to answer every NS+ — that's the whole system.
