English Assessment of Writing

Assessment of Writing is designed to support teachers in making accurate, evidence-based assessments of writing across KS1 and KS2 where no national criteria or exemplification exists, in order to support teachers in establishing appropriate expectations in writing for every year group.

The publication contains collections of writing at EXS and GDS for every year group with detailed commentary and assessments grids, providing exemplification in a similar style to the STA exemplification for Y2 and Y6. The authors of the resource are all experienced Local Authority moderators and English Advisers working in schools and providing training for teachers.

The materials can be used to support in-school standardisation and moderation as well as to support judgements for individual pupils.

This English resource is currently being updated and will be available to purchase at the end of April. If you'd like to register your interest in this resource, please email us.
