Cluster Moderation meetings aim to verify the 2022 Key Stage 1 teacher assessment judgements and ensure that teachers' assessment of pupil achievement in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 1 is consistent across the county.

Schools that have not been selected for statutory moderation should send at least one teacher to one of these meetings. After the disruption of the past two years, it is even more important for teachers to have an opportunity to compare and discuss their judgements with peers and moderators.

These meetings also aim to support teachers with assessment and share good practice.

This includes foster carers, residential workers, GPs, Health Visitors, School Nurses, Independent Reviewing Officers and Supervising Social Workers.

Messages from practice and research highlights that children and adults who are care experienced have higher rates of physical, emotional, social, and educational need, and are more likely to experience homelessness, teenage pregnancy, prison and problems with their mental and emotional health. They are also more likely to die younger. The majority of children who enter care have suffered significant harm, neglect and trauma, and some are children who have travelled alone from their country of origin to seek asylum in UK.

The training will be delivered by trainers from Health and Children's Services, as live interactive classroom training, delivered through Microsoft Teams.
