NOTICES
ASSESSMENT POLICY
Your work will be assessed by your subject teachers and will be standardised (checked) by the Head for Department. An AQA moderator will visit the department and review the work and the marks – the moderator can change the marks up or down.
It is also worth noting that the grade boundaries can change each year and are decided once moderation has taken place.
The following work will be assessed:
Component 1 Personal Investigation (60%): Mark out of 96
Component 2 Externally Set Assignment (40%): Mark out of 96
Each component is assessed using the following four assessment objectives. The total mark for each assessment objective is 24
AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.
AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.
AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
The marks will be available for you to see from 9am Monday 20th May
Rules for Working in the workshop
The biggest danger in the D&T room is YOU! You are at risk when you don’t understand the hazards or you are careless, or both. The person most likely to suffer from your mistakes is YOU! Report any accident, spillage or breakage to your teacher.
1. Only enter a D&T room when told to do so by Ben (Head of Design). Never rush about or throw things in a D&T room. Keep your work area and floor area clear, with bags and coats well out of the way.
2. Follow instructions precisely; only touch or use tools, equipment, machines and materials when told to do so by a Ben; never remove anything from any D&T room without permission.
3. Wear eye protection when told to do so and keep it on until you have finished the work that needs the eye protection.
4. When using naked flames (eg, gas torches in workshops, make sure that ties, hair, baggy clothing etc are tied back or tucked away.
5. Always stand up when doing practical work in workshops so you can quickly move out of the way if you need to.
6. Always wash your hands carefully when handling any chemicals/glues at the end of lessons in all areas.
8. If you are scalded, burnt or a chemical splashes on your skin, wash the affected part at once with lots of water. Tell Ben or Malcolm. Also report any cuts or abrasions.
10. Report all spillage of any substance to Ben or Malcolm.
Component 2 prep work to be submitted 29th April 4:00pm (not returned)

CURRENT CLASS WORK
Evening / twilight sessions run currently Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4:15 to 5:00pm. You are also able to use the classrooms any time you have study periods as well as break and lunch times.
Marking Policy:
Students are required to present their submission of work by the end of their lesson on the due date (unless otherwise agreed with teacher). Failure to submit work on the due date will not be assessed during that round but will be assessed in conjunction with the next round of assessment. Obviously failure to submit does mean you will not have the opportunity to improve your work, nor receive timely feedback and a failing behind with the course work will result in a poor final grade.
Work will be marked and available for collection within 48 hours of due date.
Feedback will be either given in the form of verbal one-to-one's or through written comments and students are encouraged to take notes on how to improve if necessary. Feedback and progress information is also given through the college's Subject Review and Cause for Comment.
Staff will always be willing to give feedback and go through coursework at any time if you would like more help - just ask.
