Read JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments guidance

Because the artwork throughout the course can be submitted for assessment, it is considered 'live' until results day and review of marking and moderation has taken place in the students final year. As such, it is important that the artwork is kept secure until these dates as per JCQ regulations.

However, it is important to celebrate the students' work and you may hold an exhibition of artwork post-moderation. Many centres put up the artwork for moderation and then directly afterwards open this up to the public.

Any centres holding such an exhibition must regard all the work as still being 'live' and ensure that the exhibition is invigilated and that work remains secure. If work is taken out of secure conditions and a centre subsequently wishes to apply for review of marking and moderation after results day, this process could be compromised by loss of or damage to work that was in the sample. 

The school must also consider how to reduce the risk of photographs of the exhibition appearing on social media accounts of visitors, as this would breach JCQ regulations. 

A Level and GCSE

JCQ guidelines  require that 'live' work is kept secure until results day and review of marking and moderation (RoMM) dates have taken place.

If work is taken out of secure conditions and a centre subsequently wishes to apply for a review of marking and moderation after results day, this could be compromised by loss of or damage to work that was in the sample. 

'When can marked work be removed from secure storage?

Internally assessed work that is not required for the moderation sample and work returned to centres after moderation must be stored securely until all possible post-results services have been exhausted. If post-results services have not been requested, internally assessed work may be returned to candidates after the deadline for requesting a review of results for the relevant series. If post-results services have been requested, internally assessed work may be returned once the review of results and any subsequent appeal has been completed.'
