Turn a quick observation into a clear, actionable next step for a pupil — pick a common issue or type your own.

Choose a common issue below, or type your own quick observation.

How to use
  • Pick a common issue from the list, or switch to "Type my own" and describe what you've noticed in a few words.
  • Choose the subject (if it's relevant) and the pupil's Key Stage — this adjusts the wording.
  • Click "Generate next step" for one clear, actionable statement you can write in a book or say to the pupil.
  • Not quite right? Click "Generate again" for a different wording from the same category.
  • Use "Copy" to paste it into your marking, or "Print" for a physical copy.
