Your marking should move learning forward.
MarkSmithPro gives your department one shared set of rubric criteria. Consistent feedback, faster to write, directly tied to what students need to improve. Free to download.
Try it yourself — free
Set up your mark scheme once. Step through your class list, click the descriptor that fits, add comments from your bank. Export a PDF for every student. No admin, no subscription, no catch.
One licence. Your whole department.
Every teacher in your team marks from the same criteria. Moderation is faster. Results are more consistent. And your assessment practice is defensible.

Build Once, Share Instantly
One person sets up the descriptors and comment bank. Export the project file, drop it on the shared drive or email it across. Everyone else imports it in one click. No student data included — safe to share anywhere.
Preset Packs Ready to Go
Free preset packs for D&T, Engineering, Food, Media Studies and Music — built around published specifications (AQA, but usable as a starting point for OCR, Eduqas or WJEC too). Download from the Resources page and import in two clicks. Also available free on TES.
Moderation-Ready
When everyone marks against the same descriptors, moderation meetings compare like for like. Less time debating what the mark scheme means. More time on the work itself.
Already have a mark scheme?
Send me a PDF, a photo, or pasted text. I'll convert it into an importable Marksmith Pro file and email it back. Most departments already have rubrics somewhere — this gets them into the app without re-entering everything from scratch.
