We are less worried it if the kids are making progress. If not, then intervention groups, extra time with TA provided

Why create marking? Make it self marking, Peer marked or group feedback exercise. You'll see evidence in their work.

A5. In humanities alevel subject marking homework is time consuming. Setting no, as they practice past exam questions and revise.

feedback not marking - makes all the difference. We use homework in class. Doesn't need additional marking.
