This guide explains what schools, colleges and other exam or assessment centres can expect from awarding organisations regulated by Ofqual. Centres will be able to access resources and qualification specific training from VTQ awarding organisations to support exams officers and subject teachers in their roles. This should improve the administration of VTQ assessments understanding of specific awarding organisations’ processes and the information that is required to support results delivery. How GCSEs, AS and A levels will be assessed in 2023 Childline is a service provided by the NSPCC offering confidential support and advice to children and young people.
In supporting the earlier term time quality assurance processes, centres will ensure a smoother transition for students to higher education. You will be asked to work with awarding organisations to resolve any gaps and inconsistencies in the results data that will go to UCAS. Each awarding organisation will have its own reasonable adjustments policy and practices. For GCSEs, AS, and A levels, JCQ sets out guidance on access arrangements and reasonable adjustments.The medical exam tables used in your office can make or break the patient care experience and the efficiency of your staff. Choose exam room tables that make your patient’s comfort during a medical examination a priority while providing features that make your staff’s job easier. The National Careers Service provides free and impartial careers advice, information and guidance, including on T Levels and VTQs. The service is available to anyone aged 13 or over. An awarding organisation must make sure that those making appeal decisions are competent to do so, have no personal interest in the outcome, and were not involved in the original marking or moderation or the review of the marking or moderation. The final decision must involve at least one decision maker who is not connected to the awarding organisation. An awarding organisation should explain why it has decided not to give a student an adjustment or to give them a different adjustment from that requested. Ofqual’s rules mean awarding organisations must have a process in place for centres to appeal that decision. If a centre does not agree with the awarding organisation’s decision, it should follow the awarding organisation’s appeal process. Ofqual will usually only consider complaints about an awarding organisation once the appeal has been concluded. UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, is an independent charity, and the UK’s shared admissions service for higher education.
A short-term illness or temporary injury is not normally considered a disability. A student who is temporarily ill or injured is not normally entitled to reasonable adjustments. But there may be other arrangements available, often known as special consideration or access arrangements. What reasonable adjustments are available ECGs are recorded daily in the surgeries of general practitioners and cardiologists. To guarantee a high level of patient comfort, we offer comfortable, functional ECG couches. Whether you need a particularly wide couch or an electric height adjustable couch - you will be sure to find the ideal addition to your exam or treatment room here in our online shop.If a centre (or a student, where the exam board allows them to) seeks an appeal, the awarding organisation must carry one out in line with our rules and communicate the outcome of the appeal to the centre, or student. Where teachers mark their own students’ work (an ‘internally marked’ assessment), then awarding organisations must moderate that marking. This is so they can make sure marking has been undertaken accurately and consistently across all centres. Centres should standardise marking between teachers within their centre. Who marks students’ work?
how much the adjustment would cost – a more expensive adjustment may be less likely to be reasonable than a cheaper one A review of marking or moderation can be requested by the centre if it thinks an error has been made. The awarding organisation will then review the marking or moderation and correct any errors. If the government decides exams could not go ahead as planned, students’ GCSE, AS and A level, Advanced Extension Award (AEA) and Project qualification grades would instead be determined by their teachers, using teacher-assessed grades (TAGs). This would be similar to summer 2021 arrangements. For these qualifications, Ofqual provided guidance for teachers on collecting evidence during the year that would be used to inform TAGs. There will be a return to pre-pandemic standards for VTQs that are taken in centres, alongside or instead of GCSEs and A levels so these students will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in comparison.If you remain concerned about an outcome following a review, you can appeal to the awarding organisation. Appeals can be on the grounds that: This guide covers qualifications which are typically taken in an academic year in centres including the Technical Qualification (within a T Level).
