A level Computer Science Project Marking
A Level Project Marking for OCR and AQA NEA
OFQUAL has declared that the way marking for NEA components on the new Linear A levels has changed.
​
Prior to 2018 all marking appeals were dealt with by the Examining Body. This meant that a centre should mark work, submit results and coursework to the Examining body who would moderate the marking. Should any appeal be launched by a parent, centre or student, it was up to the examining body to appoint an independent examiner.
​
From 2018 all appeals now need to be handled by every Centre. This means that as a school or college, you need to have the NEA submitted in late March/ early April, get it marked and get the results to the students. The students can then appeal.
​
It is therefore up to the Centre to appoint an independent moderator, get the coursework to them, allow time for the work to be re-examined, a marking report written and the coursework returned back to you, so you can get the work to the Examining Body by their May deadline.
​
As an experienced teacher of both the OCR and AQA Syllabus, I have had excellent feedback from both Examining Bodies in that they have agreed with my standards of marking. I am available to act as an independent moderator for you should the need arise in the case of Appeal.
​
The cost for each marked appeal is £250 per script. This will allow for:
-
reading and marking the NEA submission in accordance with the relevant guidelines
-
providing a written report justifying any mark awarded/ complexity level allocated.
-
returning the scripts to you by express, secure courier.
