Now in its third year, Time to Write from ISEB and IAPS, is designed to pioneer a new approach to evaluating creative writing. Join us on this journey to transform how writing in schools is assessed by taking part as a shortlisting judge for Time to Write 2026.
If you are engaged in professional teaching, learning and assessment practice or education either in schools, as a tutor, or in further or higher education and are familiar with assessing pupil work, we would love to have you on board as a shortlisting judge.
You may have a teaching qualification or professional experience in the field. You do not necessarily have to be an English or creative writing expert, but you should feel confident assessing stories written by children from across the world in years 3-11.
We will be asking for approximately two hours of your time from 10-22 February 2026. You will also be asked to attend a short training session in January 2026.
Fill in the form below to apply – we will be in touch in January 2026 with full instructions and information. We look forward to working with you to develop assessment for the future.
Please complete this form if you would like to take part in the shortlisting of the ISEB and IAPS Time to Write 2026 competition as a judge on the RM Compare platform. If you have any questions please contact us at https://support.iseb.co.uk/.
