Schools can now book a comprehensive programme of KS2 statutory assessment training, designed to support Year 6 teachers and leaders through every stage of the assessment cycle.
The programme is delivered by The English Team and provides practical guidance, updates and assessment support to help schools navigate national curriculum assessment requirements with confidence. We work closely with schools to provide trusted advice on statutory assessment, recording, reporting, moderation and data collection requirements, helping ensure compliance with Department for Education and Standards and Testing Agency expectations.
Training tailored to different levels of experience
Whether you are teaching Year 6 for the first time, returning to the year group after a break, or are an experienced practitioner looking for the latest updates, there is a session to meet your needs.
Available courses include:
- KS2 statutory assessment training: teachers new to or returning to Year 6
- KS2 statutory assessment training: briefing for all experienced Y6 teachers (online)
- KS2 statutory assessment training: writing assessment support

Together, these sessions offer practical guidance on statutory assessment arrangements, teacher assessment, writing moderation, and preparation for the KS2 reading and mathematics tests.
Supporting confidence and consistency
Accurate assessment plays a vital role in understanding pupil progress and ensuring reliable outcomes. We support schools throughout the assessment cycle, providing expert advice on national curriculum assessment requirements, statutory moderation processes and pupil data collection.
Schools attending the training will benefit from up-to-date information, opportunities to strengthen assessment practice and greater confidence in meeting statutory responsibilities. The training also complements the wider support available through the Data and Assessment Team, including moderation, monitoring, reporting guidance and assessment-related advice.
