[The attached handbook has been updated – 13/05/2019 @ 14:00]

This handbook provides key information about the statutory moderation processes at early years foundation stage and key stages 1 and 2. It does not replace statutory guidance but provides a local context. Revisions include:

• changes to KS2 meet the moderator date
• clarification around processes where insufficient evidence is found at KS1 and 2
• further clarification within the local agreement
• further clarification about the LA quality assurance process

We are putting on an event at Sans Souci (10am – 4.30pm) on the day the key stage two results are released by DfE; by this date all other end of key stage data should also be available. We invite headteachers to bring their data and use some or all of the day to analyse their results and identify key priorities for the following year.

The data team and the school advisers will be on hand to work with you to help you make sense of your data and start to make comparisons with the provisional national picture. Members of EIMS will also be available to talk you through how you can analysis your data using SIMS.  You should go away with a clear analysis of your schools data for 2018. You can attend with another member of your SLT and can work independently or as groups with the support you need on hand in the room. More information will follow.

To help us with numbers, if you intend to come along on the day please could you let us know by email to: inset@solihull.gov.uk
