Testimonials
"Thank you once again for yesterday’s training session. It was just what the team needed: non-threatening, encouraging and full of practical suggestions."
"We have had some real success so far with the text-based planning and some lovely feedback from the children about it. It is having an impact!"
"Just a note of thanks for yesterday's training. It was incredibly helpful and very clear to follow. I appreciated every minute. It was engaging and interactive as well as relaxed and conversational. And who knew that you could do so many amazing collaborative things (break out groups and visualisers) on Zoom!"

"Staff benefit from Laura’s professionalism and deep expertise of moderation through her many years as LA moderator, insights through links with STA and her broad curriculum knowledge across all year groups."
Profile
I am an Education Advisor at Pobble Education, where I support schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, local authorities, and education departments across the UK and internationally to strengthen the accuracy, consistency, and impact of their writing assessment and moderation practice.My work is rooted in a belief that assessment is most powerful when it is purposeful, professionally led, and deeply connected to curriculum intent. I am particularly passionate about making moderation a positive and meaningful activity — one that teachers actively want to engage in, rather than experience as a compliance burden. My goal is to help settings build writing moderation systems that deepen professional dialogue, build teacher confidence, and drive genuine improvement in teaching and learning.Drawing on a career spanning classroom teaching, school leadership, and national statutory assessment delivery, I have worked with schools, MATs, and local authorities to:- Review and strengthen assessment policies and processes across multiple settings- Build teacher confidence in making accurate and consistent judgements about children's writing- Align assessment with curriculum design and implementation- Develop moderation frameworks that reduce workload while raising standards- Foster cross-school collaboration to share expertise and embed best practiceMy work at Pobble Education places writing at its heart, and I lead CPD and strategic support that helps teachers and leaders evaluate the effectiveness of their writing curriculum and embed approaches that are both rigorous and supportive of high-quality outcomes for every child.I am seeking NAAE membership to connect with a wider community of English and literacy professionals, to contribute to and learn from national conversations about assessment and writing education, and to ensure my practice is informed by the latest research, policy, and collective expertise in the field.
