KS1 Writing Moderation and Training

With KS1 attainment reporting no longer being statutory, school leaders are being left in the unenviable position of having little external assurance that their writing attainment is accurate. By inviting our English Adviser to deliver KS1 writing moderation and training for your Y1 and/or Y2 class teachers, you will have ensured that measures have been put in place to maintain accuracy, and to create a solid benchmark.

Description

The full day moderation offer includes activities and training which will deepen attendees understanding of the end of KS1 writing expectations. The afternoon will be allocated for an opportunity to peer moderate each other’s work. Peer-to-peer moderation is a crucial activity to ensure the accuracy of your writing assessments and to allow your teachers to not only deepen their understanding of the in-year writing expectations, but to also develop their own skill in the articulation of these. In addition, at the Services For Education moderation, your teachers will have our English Adviser and KS1 assessment expert at hand to answer any queries and questions.
If a half day moderation is required, then the above sessions will be condensed so that the most important elements of the training and peer moderation are retained.
