Share your story
We are always looking to share feel-good news and successes! Whether you wish to share the successes at your centre, or the individual achievements of your learners, we would like to invite you to share your stories with us so we can work together to inspire others
Moderation window for GCSE and GCSE PE – Component 3
I hope you have all had contact from your moderator for GCSE/GCE PE Component 3 and are finalising the moderation arrangements for this component – whether it is a ‘live’ visit or submitting video evidence, all dates should have been agreed.
We have produced an ‘Instructions for the Conduct of NEA’ guide, which provides information and offers support about the moderation process - including dates, deadlines and expectations. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for in this document, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Instructions for the Conduct of NEA guidance document
Please remember, for Component 4 (PEP and/or AoP/PDP), you will not have any contact with a moderator. Mid- April you will be able to look on EdexcelOnline and there will be a tick by the candidates who are part of the sample. You must submit the marks on EdexcelOnline for all learners and upload the work for every candidate who is part of the sample on Learner Work Transfer by 15 May.
The only time you may have to upload additional learner work would be if the candidate with the highest and lowest mark for this component has not been selected - in this scenario you would also have to upload their work.
