Writing Moderation
Focus: Curriculum
For: English leaders, both KS1 and KS2
Description:
An opportunity for schools to moderate writing with other schools and MACs. Facilitated by two outstanding providers.
Director’s Note:
Last year we had over 40 schools and multiple MAC’s attend this day. It was fantastic. Staff left with concrete steps to improve writing. Send a KS1 and a KS2 lead, for the whole day. It’s worth it
