The Devon Education Services English team has the knowledge and expertise to support schools with all aspects of English assessment, from Key Stages 1 to 3 and across a wide range of educational settings. We work alongside teachers, leaders and education support staff throughout the academic year to identify and address school priorities in all aspects of the English curriculum: reading, writing and spoken language.

We are all STA-trained and qualified Local Authority moderators with years of experience in leading successful external moderation of statutory teacher assessment. The team’s proven expertise is regularly requested in support of individual schools, federations and learning communities, and across multi-academy trusts, with tailor-made moderation and standardisation advisory visits and events.

Why not explore our tried and tested assessment materials? Our writing Evidence Gathering Grids (EGGs) are widely used by teachers keen to clarify age-related expectations for each year group in the primary phase. These are available as free downloads (follow links to the right). A digital version of our Assessment of Writing resource (updated for 2024) is available to purchase from the shop.
