The Local Authority has a statutory responsibility to moderate the end-of-key-stage teacher assessment judgements in at least 25% of schools and academies each year for KS1 and KS2 writing. Locally, this process is carried out under the direction of the LA Moderation Manager, using a team of appropriately qualified pool moderators that includes school-based colleagues.

Applications are invited from those interested colleagues, with the relevant experience and expertise, who would like to be considered for the role of LA external pool moderator in the 2022 cycle.

Those who may be new to the role or considering this for the first time are invited to complete an application form and if selected can contact Chris Cosker to arrange a meeting to learn about the role, what it involves, and details of the STA approved training that must be successfully completed before a candidate may be appointed to the role.

Those who were moderators last year do not need to complete an application form unless they were a Pool moderator and want to apply to become a Lead. Moderators must inform Chris Cosker that their headteacher agrees to them continuing this year. They still have to complete the standardisation exercise.

This training is mandatory and all candidates must be able to attend a half day’s online training or face to face on either:

Pool moderators:

  • January 9th for KS1 in the morning
  • January 9th for KS2 writing in the afternoon

This may be done face to face or virtually. To be decided at a later date.

 This training will be followed by the standardisation exercise which must be successfully completed in order to gain formal STA approval as a lead or pool moderator.

Pool moderator standardisation exercise takes place between 11th January  and 19th January 2023 (Actual day to be decided)

Those engaged in this role in the past have described being a moderator as a very valuable and worthwhile professional development opportunity that has wider impact within their own school.

For a full job description and application form, please contact Christine Cosker  [email protected] Application forms need to be completed and returned by 31st October 2022.

Thank you for your interest.
