Schools and MATs
Strategic support, external validation and training.
For schools, school groups and MATs looking to strengthen confidence, consistency and accuracy in writing assessment.

From trust-wide strategy to classroom practice
Whether you are leading writing assessment across a trust, looking for external validation in school, or supporting Year 6 teachers with final judgements, Pobble Moderation Services offer practical, expert-led support to help teams feel clearer, more confident and more consistent.
For Directors of Education, trust and school English leads, trust and school assessment leads, and school improvement leaders looking to strengthen consistency across schools.
A focused 60-minute strategic conversation to help trust leaders step back, review how writing assessment is working across their schools, and identify where greater clarity, consistency and confidence may be needed.
Writing assessment is one of the most important and often most professionally complex areas of primary education. For MATs, the challenge is rarely effort. It is trust-wide consistency, alignment and confidence.

Introducing Head of Moderation and Assessment, Laura
I lead Pobble's moderation services, working with individual schools and multi-academy trusts to make writing assessment feel consistent, purposeful and genuinely useful. My background is in school leadership and primary school improvement, so I understand what's at stake when moderation doesn't quite land.
