Why This Exists

Marksmith Pro started as a tool for my department. After colleagues recommended I make it available to others, I've refined it into a professional solution that covers development costs while staying simple to use.

KS4 Rubrics at KS3

We've used KS4-style rubric marking at KS3 to build independence and make feedback clearer. It helps students see what "good" looks like and reflect on their work with clearer language.
