Sharing best practice
We want to continue developing the resources and support material available to all centres delivering BTEC qualifications and encourage you to share best practice, as there are many centres that have innovative ways of delivering and assessing work. If you have any assignment briefs that you feel could inspire other centres, please send them to me, along with anonymised marked learner work. This will help to support centres in assessing to the standard across the grading criteria. If you would be interested in submitting anything, please email teachingmusic@pearson.com.
May exam materials
The question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports will appear on the website shortly for the external assessments taken in May.
