    Brief

    The council is seeking a single provider to deliver three integrated educational services: (1) a school improvement service to support schools in raising standards; (2) a quality assurance service for alternative provision settings; and (3) a moderation service for Key Stage 2 assessments. The moderation service is a statutory requirement under The Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 2003, and is essential for the council to fulfill its legal obligations to monitor school performance, drive educational improvement, verify safeguarding compliance, and ensure the accuracy of statutory student assessments. The successful provider will work collaboratively with schools and alternative provision settings across the council area.
