Writing assessment that gives teachers their evenings back

WriteCheck is an assessment tool for primary school teachers in England. A teacher uploads a photograph or file of a pupil's piece of writing, chooses the year group and text type, and within seconds receives a structured assessment: a level on the statutory four-point scale (PKS, WTS, EXS or GDS), the evidence behind that judgement, and a short list of next steps the pupil can act on straight away. Everything is anchored in the National Curriculum writing standards and the Teacher Assessment Framework, so the output looks like the evidence a teacher would record anyway rather than an invented grading system.

It is built for the people who actually do the marking: class teachers, English leads, SENDCOs and headteachers in primary and infant schools. Individual accounts suit a single teacher building a portfolio for their own class. School Access suits a staff team that wants shared pupils, shared scans and consistent moderation, with each teacher keeping their own login. Pupils' work is never used as marketing material, and each school's pupils and assessments are only visible to teachers on that school's licence.

WriteCheck is designed, built and maintained by Lee Bell, a UK-based teacher and software developer, as a practical alternative to weekend marking piles. It is an independent product: teacher judgement always remains the final word, and the assessment is a starting point for professional conversation rather than a replacement for it. Support, invoicing for schools and feature requests are all handled personally.
