Safoni - Standardisation
Ensuring consistency in teacher assessment: Guidance of Key Stage 2 and 3
‘a process of using samples of the work of the same
learner or of different learners to enable teachers to
reach agreement on levels of attainment by
confirming a shared understanding of the
characteristics of a level.’
‘Materials collated for standardisation purposes
... are described as the school, department or
cluster standardisation portfolio which is used
as a reference source of evidence’

Cymedroli - Moderation
Ensuring consistency in teacher assessment: Guidance of Key Stage 2 and 3
Moderation at the end of a key stage,
where a ‘best fit’ judgement on an
individual learner’s level of attainment is
made.
exemplified through ‘a range of work of
an individual learner, a learner profile ...
to assist judgements to be made at the
end of a key stage, through moderation’.

Cyd-fynd orau - Best-fit
Manteisio i’r eithaf ar asesu
Making the most of assessment
Typically, a learner at the lower end of a Level shows mainly
characteristics of that Level across a range of work, but may still
have some characteristics of the previous Level in some aspects
of the work.
Typically, a learner securely within the Level demonstrates the
characteristics of that Level across a range of work.
Typically, a learner at the top end of a Level demonstrates
clearly characteristics of that Level across a range of work, with
some characteristics of the next Level.

Y Broses - The Process
All cluster schools should play an active part in deciding
on best-fit by:
• identifying learner profiles for the cluster group to use as
a source of evidence.
• attending cluster group meetings to moderate selected
learner profiles
• agreeing the moderated outcomes and adopting the
cluster’s moderated learner profiles as benchmarks
within their individual schools.
• applying these benchmarks to future teacher
assessment and in particular to end of KS2/3 teacher
assessment.

Cymedroli
Moderation
• School/cluster - Using a learner profile (a suitable range of
work from an individual learner) to arrive at a best-fit
judgement on that individual’s level of attainment (subject
level outcome).
• External – externally moderating each cluster group’s best-fit
judgements, based on learner profiles and cluster group
commentary.

Evidence (External Moderation)
= the learner’s work + commentary (contextual
information, task background, stimuli,
frameworks etc. )

On the work within the profile
•
Information on task context

• Identifying and exemplifying the level characteristics
• Cluster’s shared understanding of the level characteristics
