Effective Teaching and Learning in Reading, Writing and Maths - Year 2

Shared expectations. Accurate assessment. Improved outcomes.

These one-day training sessions provide structured opportunities for teachers to strengthen both their understanding of year group expectations and the accuracy of their assessment through collaborative moderation.

Session 1: Year Group Expectations

Teachers will develop a secure understanding of end-of-year expectations in reading, writing and mathematics. This includes exploring what it means for pupils to be ‘secure’ in each subject and identifying common gaps in learning, alongside effective strategies to address them.

Session 2: Moderation

Through professional dialogue and the scrutiny of pupil work, participants will moderate assessments to ensure consistency and accuracy. Opportunities for peer-to-peer discussion and sharing of effective practice will support stronger, more aligned judgements across schools.

Participants will:

• Strengthen their understanding of age-related expectations

• Make more accurate and consistent assessment judgements

• Identify gaps in learning and plan targeted next steps

• Share practice and build confidence through collaboration

Teachers will develop confidence in assessing pupil progress and supporting pupils to become secure readers, writers and mathematicians.
