Coursework marks to be made available from 2018
20 February 2017
Pupils will be able to request the results of their GCSE and A Level coursework from next year.
This is one of the latest decisions Ofqual has announced following changes made last summer to the review of marking, moderation and appeals systems.
The more recent changes include:
- Learners will be able to request the results of centre-marked assessments for the summer 2018 exam series onwards
- Marked GCSE scripts will be available to centres, before their deadline for requesting a review of marking, for the summer 2020 exam series onwards
- Exam boards must provide the reasons for review of marking decisions automatically for the summer 2020 exam series onwards
- Implementation of the removal of automatic grade protection that currently applies will be deferred, following a review of moderation for at least two years.
A final decision regarding extending the grounds for appeal will be taken later this Spring once analysis of the pilot study has been completed.
Ofqual intends to make the systems schools and colleges use to challenge GCSE, AS and A Level results in England clearer, more consistent, and fairer for all students.
Ofqual has also launched a
survey for teachers about the review of marking and moderation services.
