What we do

  • Marking and feedback

    ParkerMarker gives departments shared comment banks, printable feedback slips and question-level assessment analysis.

  • Vocational assessment

    VocMark drafts assessments against BTEC, CACHE and OCR Nationals criteria for the teacher to review, edit and decide.

  • Staff appraisal and CPD

    PM Review runs the whole performance management cycle, with a live dashboard for the headteacher and a CPD log for every member of staff.

  • Personal improvement plans

    ParkerMarker and VocMark both turn assessment results into a plan for each student showing what to do next.

  • Built with teacher input

    Every feature is shaped by the staff who use it, and the teacher always stays in control of grading decisions.

Who it is for

  • Headteachers and SLT Oversight of appraisal and assessment without chasing spreadsheets.
