The Team

The assessment team is led by the Assessment and Moderation Manager, Helen Carpenter. (Please note that queries about technical aspects of statutory data submission should be directed to IMT or your Admin IT support provider).

Statutory monitoring visits are carried out by the school advisory team and consultants who all receive annual training to be able to carry out this work.

Statutory moderation is carried out by a team of moderators, including lead moderators.  All moderators are appointed following a rigorous selection process and must undergo annual training and assessment. All training delivered follows the Standards and Testing Agency requirements.

All moderators are experienced teachers of Y6.

EYFS support is provided by the Early Years Officers led by Phillippa Degnan.
