On 29th January 2018, the DfE released updated information for local authorities (LAs) about the process and training for moderators of KS1 and KS2 English writing in 2017/2018.
The standardisation process
The standardisation process is designed to assure schools that LA moderation teams have the required knowledge to moderate KS1 and KS2 English writing assessments, ensuring consistency and accuracy across England. LAs are required to moderate a least 25% of maintained schools and 25% of academies.
The process also ensures that moderators are familiar with the changes to the KS1 English writing frameworks and KS2 English writing frameworks for use this year.
