The full day moderation offer includes activities and training which will deepen attendees understanding of the end of KS2 writing expectations. This enables teachers from all year groups to more fully appreciate the end points for writing, and their place within the development of the pupils’ skills.
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 the expertise of our English Adviser and trained moderator at hand to answer their 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.
