  1. Inter-school Training and Agreement Trialing using the P Scales

  2. Objectives • To prepare schools for the County moderation of P scales. • To provide opportunities for agreement trialling. • To ensure schools are confident in their understanding and assessments of P scales. • To ensure assessments of pupils are in line with national standards.

  3. Reporting P Scales

  4. P scales: national information • End of Key Stage children working at Level W must be reported as P levels to refine assessments. • The DfES collects P scales’ data from schools – statutory. • P scales’ descriptors at: www.qcda.gov.uk/pscales • Using the P scales – assessing pupil attainment in English, maths and science at Levels 4 to 8 from QCDA website.

  5. Inter-school Training and Agreement trialling • All schools in all partnerships in January with two partnerships at each venue. • Evidence in writing, number and science. • Primary, infant, junior, middle, secondary and special schools. • Use P Scale Moderation Guide to understand how the process works. • Moderator is facilitator.

  6. The Process • Agreement trial first. Agree levels and next steps in children’s learning. • Then moderate evidence brought. • Moderating the work / activity NOT the child. • Work can exemplify an aspect of the level – not necessarily all criteria. • Look at elements of level above and below in order to reach a decision. • Information on context sheet is key.

  7. Context Sheets: guidance • Learning intention. • Level of support (eg: individual, independent, child initiated.) • Type of support (eg: equipment, modelling, support prompt.) • Evidence: • Level/extent of prompt • Duration • Reason/frequency of prompt • Supported by/method of response

  8. County Moderation • Up to 2 teachers from each school with children working at P scales. • Bring 2-3 examples each in number, science and writing from P4 to P8. • Each piece of work should have the annotated Assessment Moderation Proforma from the “P scale Moderation Resource File” attached to it, indicating the context in which it was produced. • It is important that the samples of work brought to moderation have been moderated by the school first to show which levels have been agreed.
