Hi Martin

 

I would say the board would have to call for a  further sample to moderate and either uphold the previous moderator’s decisions or not.  The fact that the original sample meant an adjustment for the cohort is a reflection on the standard of marking across the cohort not just those who were part of the sample – in theory that would mean that another sample would produce the same result.

 

It is a shame that they lost the original sample but I wouldn’t say it was grounds for an inflated result I’m afraid.

 

Happy Friday!

Subject: Lost Coursework

 

I have been contacted by a local school regarding  lost coursework.

 

Basically, the situation is as follows:

 

We had 5 year 13 students complete coursework for AQA ICT.  All 5 were included in the sample sent to the moderator.  We disagreed with the moderated marks and applied for a review of moderation stating that we had not received the coursework back from the moderator.  It now looks like AQA/moderator/Parcelforce has lost the coursework.

 

Where do we stand on this?  Do they award all the students an A*?

 

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
