Description

LAs are required, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education, to validate a sample of Early Years, KS1 and KS2 Teacher Assessment (TA) judgements in English reading, English writing and mathematics. Every year, LAs must externally moderate a sample of at least 25 per cent of LA maintained schools, plus 25 per cent of academies and participating independent schools that opt to be included in the LA's external moderation provision.
External moderation is statutory. It gives confidence that schools' TA judgements for EYFS KS1 and KS2 are accurate and consistent with national standards, as specified in the TA frameworks and the exemplification materials.
All local authorities must have regard to guidance under Article 9 of the Education (National Curriculum) (England) Order 2004 . This Order is made under the Secretary of State's powers as provided for by section 87 of the education Act 2002.
