A complete teacher’s guide to Year 6 writing moderation covering the TAF, evidence gathering, standardisation, moderation meetings and preparation checklists.
This resource is designed for Year 6 class teachers, English subject leaders and senior leaders preparing for external moderation visits. It covers the full moderation process from building your evidence portfolio in January through to the external LA visit in the summer term.
Aligned to the KS2 Teacher Assessment Framework (TAF), it explains the three writing standards (WTS, EXS and GDS) in plain language, sets out exactly what moderators look for, and helps teachers articulate their judgements with confidence.
Includes a detailed standards breakdown table, a Do/Don’t evidence guide, advice on internal standardisation, and a Spring and Summer term preparation checklist.
Suitable for use in staff meetings, INSET days, or as a personal reference guide throughout the year.
A warm, comprehensive, and beautifully designed parent information leaflet to help Year 6 families prepare for the move to secondary school — covering everything that matters, all in one place.
Organised into four clear sections — Practical, Academic, Social & Emotional, and Wellbeing — this leaflet gives parents and carers real, actionable advice without being overwhelming. Each section includes tip cards, checklists, and conversation starters to use at home, making it a resource families actually engage with rather than file away.
Highlights include a full kit checklist, a ‘Signs Your Child is Settling Well’ guide, a ‘When to Contact School’ section, and the popular ‘10 Things Every Year 6 Should Know’ — an honest, reassuring list that parents and children can read together.
