Course: KS2 STA collections

Topic outline

KS2 STA collections from moderator training materials
In this section you will find collections of children's moderated work, that can be used to support your own judgements. Some collections have been used at HIAS KS2 standardisation sessions since 2018. The materials could also make useful WAGOLLs to share with children. The detailed commentaries for each collection are extremely helpful - explaining why a collection meets the standard for each statement and also why it does not meet the higher standard.

These collections can be used alongside the STA teacher assessment exemplification collections for KS2 writing.
