Exam Board Criteria

Understanding the Curriculum

As a start point Mrs Simmonds introduced me to the Edexel exam syllabus that gives the teacher the framework to deliver the module as they see fit, within the guidelines laid out in this document. 

A copy of this document was saved for me to take away in order I could get a better understanding of how the syllabus is dictated by the exam board. 

While there is some freedom of the projects and classroom tasks that are set, certain framework must be followed and the marking scheme is key to how this is applied. Luckily Mrs Simmonds has years of experience in working to the Edexel framework and Miss Turner sits on the marking board so again, has a thorough understanding of how best to set weekly tasks to shape their students work from initial ideas through to final submission.
