Does your team find writing moderation a challenge?

Your teaching team must make accurate writing assessment judgements. They benefit from learning with others, but in a busy school, creating time for effective moderation meetings and connecting colleagues is not always easy. How can you be sure your team has the confidence to make secure judgements?

What if writing moderation was easier?

Imagine your whole team having a clearer understanding of standards and the confidence to discuss doubts and justify judgements. Better still, writing moderation in your school becomes a valuable, robust and positive professional experience. Here’s how...

Who leads Pobble Moderation Services?

Introducing Head of Moderation and Assessment, Laura

I lead Pobble’s moderation services, working with 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 is at stake when moderation does not quite land.

"Thank you so much for yesterday. Both teachers came away from the moderation feeling empowered, proud of themselves and like they had had a fantastic professional development opportunity. The way you and the team managed the moderation was very much appreciated, and I would like to thank you for that."
