This session is in two parts.

Y2 teachers led by Katie Martin

Part 1

Although end of KS1 moderation and assessment of writing is no longer statutory, senior, leaders, teachers and governors will still want to know that pupils are on track to reach their targets by the end of Year 6.

This session will address how writing can be moderated to ensure that pupils’ writing standard is robustly assessed. What Greater Depth (GDS) looks like compared to Expected Standard (EXS). Assessment of writing that is Working Towards the standard. (WTS).

Part 2

Experienced Key Stage 1 teachers and advisers will share ways to teach writing that reflects the interests and experiences of pupils. Our pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures which can be used to engage and excite them as writers. Suggestions for the use of texts, props, artefacts, and more will be discussed. How do we ensure that pupils have the confidence to share their writing journey with an audience?

Pupils will be invited to share their work with an audience later in the academic year.
