Many schools find developing consistency in assessment for non-reporting year groups a challenge. Knowing what age-related expectations look like in practice; understanding how this can differ at the higher and lower end and making accurate judgements can be difficult. In addition, developing a secure evidence base and knowing how to support children in applying grammatical skills effectively pose additional challenges.

This course focuses on supporting delegates to form accurate judgments. Working collabratively and using writing from their own schools, colleagues will be supported ...

“…we are concerned with the impact remote learning is having on English teaching, particularly on those students who require targeted writing support. There are limits to how extended writing can be sustained under distant conditions.” Jonathan Morgan, Director, NATE

Writing is complex and feedback from many primary schools is that remote learning is having a particularly challenging impact on the quality and quantity of children’s writing. To help address this, we devised a writing project, commissioned by Andrew Best, Strategic Lead of Education, ...
