Software

Schools should ensure they have appropriate support in place for the recording of the assessments and the export of the final data. Most schools will record the assessments in their MIS so this will be their school MIS support.

Moderation Appeals process for Key Stage 1 and 2 for 2023

One of the local authority’s statutory duties following moderation is to notify the head teacher of each moderated school whether or not the assessments in the school are accurate and consistent with national standards. If a school does not agree with the changes that moderators have made to their original teacher assessment judgement, then the following procedures apply.

  • Birmingham appeals process KS1 and 2 - coming soon
