Photograph KS1 and KS2 writing. Get a proposed TAF standard, consistent language across the class, a record of progress, and a short lesson on the remaining gap. Teachers remain the final authority.
Not a replacement for teacher assessment. A way to mark more writing, keep the language the same, and spend the time you save on teaching.
Photograph the page. Confirm a proposed standard and next steps instead of writing the same comments after school.
The same TAF language — WTS, EXS or GDS — with quoted evidence, so a year group is not marked five different ways.
Every piece is kept. You can see proposed standards and next steps accumulating across the term, not one snapshot in June.
When the same TAF gap shows up across a set of pieces, you get a short lesson on that gap — not a generic worksheet.
STA judges a body of work, not a single good page. Propose one overall standard; a teacher agrees it.
Premium PDF for books, parents and internal moderation. The AI original is kept if you override.
The writing below is STA 2018 exemplification — Kim in Year 2 and Leigh in Year 6 — so you can see the full loop on a public collection, not a pupil’s book.
Which year group?
1. Upload writing
Years 1–6. Handwritten pages are read as they are — no typing required. The year sets the National Curriculum expectations and the matching TAF, so the feedback is usable that afternoon.
KS2 Writing Assessment
Working at the Expected Standard
Narrative
Writes for a purpose with a clear opening and sequence.
Sentence demarcation is consistent enough for this standard.
Speech punctuation is the remaining next step.
2. Online report
A proposed WTS, EXS or GDS, strengths, next steps, and an evidence matrix against “pupil can” statements. Teachers confirm it. The same wording across a class makes moderation faster.

KS1 writing report
Working at the Expected Standard
Keep a copy for books, parents and the next time you look at this pupil’s writing. Quoted evidence stays with the piece.
3. A record of progress
Each marked page stays in the history. Premium PDF for books, parents and the next time you look at this pupil. You can see whether the standard and the next steps are moving.
Year 2 · 6 pieces
Across the Year 2 collection, the remaining gap is accurate spelling of common exception words and high-frequency words such as said, some, something, then and can’t.
15–20 minute lesson on the most consistent TAF gap across the collection.
Open the live lesson
Year 6 · 6 pieces
Across narrative, recount and diary pieces, the remaining gap is keeping one verb tense going inside a paragraph rather than drifting mid-piece.

4. Targeted lesson
On this Year 2 collection the remaining gap was tense consistency. On Year 6 it was punctuating direct speech. Each produced a 15–20 minute lesson — so the time you save on marking goes into teaching.

5. Moderated work
Writing is judged as a collection. Propose an overall standard across the pieces; a teacher agrees it. That is the conversation you would have in a moderation meeting — with the evidence already quoted.
Kim (Year 2) and Leigh (Year 6) are STA Expected Standard exemplification. We used them so you can see upload, report, lesson and moderation on a full collection — without putting a pupil’s work on a public page.

Six genres each — the same TAF language on every piece, so the collection can be moderated as a body of work. Open the Year 2 pack · Open the Year 6 pack.
Contains material developed by the Standards and Testing Agency for 2018 national curriculum assessments and licenced under Open Government Licence v3.0. View the licence. Source: KS1 Kim and KS2 Leigh on GOV.UK. Live marked packs: Year 2 Kim and Year 6 Leigh.
Years 1–2 use the KS1 writing framework. Years 3–6 use the KS2 writing framework. That is the language teachers already use in moderation — so the report, the lesson and the collection judgement line up.

Teachers remain the final authority on every judgement.
Mark a piece this afternoon, or book a demo for school rollout — consistency, progress and the next lesson, not another late marking pile.
