KS2 Standardised Pupil Writing Collections
Each year, standardised Key Stage 2 pupil writing collections are produced for local authority moderator training. The accompanying commentaries give insight into the requirements of the standards, providing detailed explanations of why a collection meets a particular standard, and why it does not yet meet the next one. Therefore, they are also useful to support teachers in making accurate judgements when assessing pupils' work at the end of KS2.
The materials can be used in a range of ways:
- To develop Teacher subject knowledge
- To support judgements for individual pupils
- To support in-school standardisation and moderation
- To support Trust-wide standardisation and moderation
