One teacher. One assessment.
Here’s what happens.
Follow an English teacher marking a Year 11 essay, and see how that moment of professional judgement becomes evidence for an entire school community.
1
​The teacher marks the essay
​
Ms. Smith opens her Year 11 English rubric and assesses Sarah’s essay.
She works through each section: Knowledge application, Organisation and development and Textual features. She clicks each descriptor that fits: discerning analysis of perspectives, or effective? Effective Selection and sequencing, or suitable? She's always made these judgements. They've just never been stored.
The whole process feels familiar, because it is. She’s doing what she’s always done - marked a rubric.

rubric+ preserves every detail
​
Every descriptor-level decision Ms. Smith makes per criterion is recorded, precisely as she saw sit.
​​​
-
Each level Sarah achieved, reflecting her current ability.
-
each criterion result is then calculated automatically per authority guidelines, as well as the overall result.
All structured and ready, from marking she was already doing.

That evidence reaches everyone who needs it
​
Sarah opens her portal and sees exactly where she stands in English.
​
-
Her score, descriptors achieved, and what to focus on next.
-
She understands how this task fits her term trajectory.
-
Her teacher sees class-wide patterns, based on descriptor-based evidence.
-
The Head of English sees subject-wide trends.
-
The Deputy sees school-wide progress across each subject at the same level.
-
Her parents see what the teacher sees - clear, specific, meaningful.

And Ms. Smith’s reporting...
​
When reporting week arrives, Ms. Smith doesn’t start from scratch.
The data is already there: every task she assessed, every descriptor she recorded, across every student and every task.
School reporting draws from it directly.
What used to take an hour or more now takes minutes.
She spends the time where it matters.
​
​
"I can’t believe this exists. I always thought something like this should, but never thought it could. Now, looking at it, it’s so obvious this is how it should have always been. It’s going to make everything in assessment that much more informed."

What it doesn’t change
rubric+ is designed to work with existing expertise.
​It does not change:
​
-
Teacher autonomy
-
Assessment design
-
Marking and reporting processes
Importantly, your teachers granular decisions at marking time remain central.
