Last week, our school was selected by the local authority for Year 6 writing moderation. As part of this process, three moderators reviewed a randomly selected sample of pupils’ writing to ensure our teacher assessments matched the national standard.

The moderation team was incredibly impressed by the exceptional quality of our children’s work, praising the progress they have made and commenting on how every piece of writing reflected each child’s individual voice. Alison Picknell, Thurrock’s School Effectiveness and Early Years Manager for School Services, was so impressed that she will be recommending some of our pupils’ work for inclusion in the Department for Education’s exemplification materials.

This is a fantastic achievement and a wonderful recognition of the hard work, talent and dedication of both our Year 6 children and their teachers. Well done to everyone involved!
