W5023 The School Improvement Service, the Quality Assurance Service and the Moderation Service

Description

The council is looking to procure one provider to deliver a school improvement service, a quality assurance service for alterative provision and a moderation service provision. The Moderation Service is a statutory service under The Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 2003, which was made pursuant to section 87 of the Education Act 2002. The Moderation Service therefore plays a central role in enabling the Council to fulfil its statutory duties to oversee performance, secure improvement, assure safeguarding practice, and ensure the accuracy of statutory assessment.
