"EPA evidence packs used to mean late nights. Rubric-aligned feedback and exports mean gateway reviews are far less stressful."
The real cost of written assessmentLate nights should not be your quality system.
On a busy programme, marking is where the standard lives. It is also where the week disappears.
Work comes in as a zip, a portal dump, or a pile of PDFs. Assessors mark in different voices. Borderline learners wait. Quality leads spend gateway week reconstructing a story from comments that never quite matched.
The problem is not that your team does not care. It is that the job does not fit in the hours you have, and the evidence does not assemble itself.
The work never arrives one script at a time.
Cohorts land together. Functional skills, written knowledge, EPA-style tasks. Someone is always behind, and “I will catch up on Sunday” becomes the process.
Consistency is a people problem until you give them a shared first pass.
New assessors, associate markers, two sites, one standard. Learners notice when the comments do not match the criteria. IQA notices sooner.
Gateway should not be an archaeology project.
If the trail is in inboxes and personal folders, you do not have evidence. You have a scramble. Ofsted and EPA want a decision you can show, not a memory of who marked what.
Learners cannot act on a grade that arrived too late.
A percentage with no next step is not feedback. If the comment lands after they have moved on, the mark taught nobody.
Feedback Flows is the marking assistant for providers who need the hours back and a trail they can stand behind. Your criteria. Your sign-off. The first pass, the feedback, and the evidence in one loop.
The loopFrom a class set to a signed-off decision.
Four steps. Your criteria at the start. A human at the end.
Put your criteria in.
Upload the rubric, question paper, or mark scheme you already use. Describe the task if you need a starting rubric. The first pass follows your standard, not a generic grade band.
Works with what you have: assignment briefs, exam-style papers, vocational knowledge tasks. Edit the criteria before you run a cohort.
Upload the cohort.
One learner, or a zip of the lot. Word, PDF, plain text. Match files to learners and let the first pass run in the background.
You do not sit and paste scripts one by one. The team gets a consistent draft against the same scheme while you do something else.
Review and sign off.
Open the draft. Change a mark. Rewrite a comment. Send a borderline to a second pair of eyes. Nothing reaches a learner until an assessor confirms it.
This is the step that keeps the decision yours. AI drafts. Your name stays on the outcome.
Send the next step.
Release the feedback. Generate a learner pack or a targeted worksheet from the gaps you just marked. Export CSV or PDF for IQA, gateway, and the meeting that needs a trail.
The mark does not die in a folder. It becomes the next piece of teaching, and the evidence you already needed.
See the loop on a live account. Or bring a real sample to a walkthrough and we will run it against your criteria.
Four jobs. One loop.Mark. Feedback. Evidence. Insight.
One platform from first pass to signed-off evidence. Your criteria. Your assessors. Your record.
Mark
A first pass the whole team can share.
Upload a zip, a script, or a single piece of work. Feedback Flows drafts against the rubric or mark scheme you already use, not a generic grade. Same criteria for every assessor. You still decide the mark.
- Batch a cohort in the background while you do something else
- Essays and vocational write-ups against your rubric
- Question papers and short-answer scripts against your scheme
- Presentations and oral work when the evidence is not on paper
Not a chatbot you paste into. A class-scale first pass you can moderate.
See the marking toolsFeedback
Comments learners can act on this week.
The mark is not the end of the job. Turn the same pass into line-level comments, a learner pack, or a worksheet aimed at the gaps you just found.
- Interactive comments tied to the work, not a generic paragraph
- Learner packs with next steps and practice they can actually use
- Targeted worksheets from each learner’s weak spots, with a mark scheme
- A formative tutor for drafts that does not hand them the answer
Feedback they can use. You still approve what they see.

Gateway without the late-night pack.
Keep a trail quality leads can stand behind. Exports for moderation. Audit of who signed what. Packs that hold up at EPA gateway and Ofsted, with a human decision on the record.
- CSV and PDF out for internal QA and external review
- Assessor sign-off before a result is confirmed
- Review queues so borderline work gets a second pair of eyes
- Integrity checks beside the mark: writing fingerprint, AI screen, reference check
AI can draft. A qualified assessor still owns the outcome.

In their wordsWhat providers say
“EPA evidence packs used to mean late nights. Rubric-aligned feedback and exports mean gateway reviews are far less stressful.”
“Large cohorts, tight deadlines. Feedback Flows handles the first pass so I can focus on learners who need intervention.”
“Across our schools the consistency point matters as much as speed. Feedback Flows gives us both: same criteria, far less admin.”
Representative feedback from educator conversations. Assessors still make the final call.
Security and responsibilityUK-built. Assessor in control.
Procurement and quality leads need a straight answer. Here it is.
You own the work.
Learner submissions are processed over encrypted connections. You retain ownership. We do not sell learner data.
We do not train public models on your learners.
Work is used to generate the mark or analysis you asked for. It is not used to train public AI models.
A qualified human still decides.
Feedback Flows drafts against your criteria. An assessor reviews, edits, and confirms before a learner sees a result. That matches the model awarding bodies expect: AI may inform the decision. It must not make it.
Built for UK providers.
Feedback Flows Ltd is ICO registered and designed around UK education workflows, including the evidence and sign-off your IQA and gateway process already require.

Automated marking tools to transform your workflow
Go from a blank page to detailed, actionable feedback for your entire class in minutes.
Interactive Marking & Feedback
Upload student work for a deep, interactive review. The system links feedback directly to specific sections of the text, checks all references for accuracy, and provides a comprehensive summary of strengths and areas for improvement.
- Links comments to specific text highlights.
- Automatically verifies cited references.
- Offers overall strengths & improvement feedback.
Mark essays in seconds, not hours
Upload a piece of student work, select your rubric, and let the system do the heavy lifting. It provides detailed, criterion-based feedback, a summary of strengths and weaknesses, and an indicative grade.
- Matches your exact rubric criteria.
- Provides in-depth, constructive comments.
- Identifies key areas for improvement.
Create detailed rubrics from a simple prompt
Stop wrestling with tables. Just describe your assignment—like "A 5-paragraph essay on 'Macbeth' for Year 11"—and our system will generate a comprehensive, multi-level rubric for you to use and adapt.
- Generates criteria, descriptors, and levels.
- Easily edit and customise to fit your needs.
- Save and re-use your rubrics for any class.
Intelligent Marking from Question Paper to Class Analysis
Upload a blank question paper and its mark scheme. Our system cross-references them to understand the assessment criteria. Then, upload your class's work and receive fully marked papers in moments.
- Cross-references mark schemes with question papers.
- Generates individual reports and class-wide strength/weakness analysis.
- Automatically creates new, targeted question papers based on areas of weakness.
Mark an entire class set at once
Why mark one by one? Zip up your class's assignments, upload the file, and let Feedback Flows mark them all in the background. You'll get a notification when the detailed feedback for every student is ready.
- Handles .zip files with Word, PDF, and .txt.
- Intelligently matches files to students.
- Consistent, fair feedback across the entire class.
Personalised Learning, Automated
Don't just give a grade. After marking, our system analyses each student's unique strengths and weaknesses and automatically generates a personalised, targeted worksheet or analysis to help them improve exactly where they need it most. Personalised learning, automated.
- Targets specific areas of weakness.
- Creates unique worksheets for each student.
- Includes a mark scheme for easy review.
Digital Writing Fingerprints
Combat plagiarism and generated text with confidence. Feedback Flows creates a unique "digital writing fingerprint" for each student based on their past work. Upload future assignments to automatically verify if the writing style matches their known profile.
- Builds a style profile from previous work.
- Flags unusual changes in vocabulary or sentence structure.
- Helps ensure academic integrity.
True Argument-Level Referencing
Go beyond simple format checks. Deep analysis reads the student’s paragraph around each citation, compares their claim to the bibliography entry, and uses Crossref (DOI or title/author search) to ground the check—flagging mis-citations, over-claims, missing works, and retractions. Always confirm important cases against the full source.
- Verifies bibliography entries against Crossref.
- Checks if the student correctly interpreted the source.
- Highlights fake, stretched, or retracted references.
Mark test scripts fast
Built for short-answer papers and structured tests — not just long essays. Upload class scripts and get scores aligned to your mark scheme from about 5 credits per student.
- Ideal for mocks, topic tests, and exam-style questions.
- Cheaper per script than full rubric essay marking.
- Export results for moderation and records.
Turn feedback into revision packs

FAQFrequently asked questions
Practical answers about AI marking, data privacy, and teacher control.
EAL has set its official position on the use of AI in assessment in its current AI Position Statement. The summary below reflects EAL’s published stance on how centres and assessors may use AI when making assessment decisions.
EAL’s position is that the use of AI to support assessment decisions is acceptable provided it is not used in isolation. AI may be used to generate a suggested assessment outcome or grade for consideration; however, the final assessment decision must be made by an appropriately qualified and competent human assessor.
The assessor must independently review the learner evidence, apply their professional judgement, and determine whether the suggested outcome is appropriate before confirming the result or grade. For grading specifically, AI may suggest a grade (for example Pass, Merit or Distinction) as part of the assessment process, but the final award must be made by the assessor after that independent review. In these circumstances, AI is supporting the assessment process by informing the assessor’s decision, rather than determining the result.
Feedback Flows is designed for this model: AI drafts suggested marks and feedback against your criteria; you review, adjust, and confirm before learners receive results.
In its AI Position Statement, EAL has also set out that responsibility for the assessment decision must remain entirely with the human assessor. This means that every assessment decision informed by AI should be reviewed by the assessor, rather than relying on sampling or quality assurance checks of only a proportion of AI-generated outcomes.
The output from AI may inform the assessment process, but it must not determine the final outcome. Centres using AI within assessment processes must ensure that assessment decisions remain under the control of qualified assessors and that responsibility for the final outcome rests with the assessor at all times.
This position is aligned with EAL’s current AI Position Statement and existing assessment principles. Enterprise organisations on Feedback Flows can also enforce human review gates, policy acknowledgement, and audit trails before final completion.

Who's behind Feedback Flows?
Hi, I'm Tom (Tomas Lerpiniere). As a Computer Science teacher, I spent countless weekends buried under a mountain of marking. It was one of the main reasons I left the profession. I knew there had to be a better way—a way to give high-quality, personalised feedback without sacrificing my own time and well-being.
I built Feedback Flows to solve that problem. It's the tool I wish I had. It's designed not to replace teachers, but to empower them. Our mission is to give you back your time, so you can focus on what matters most: teaching and inspiring your students.
