Affects all Year 12 students on all BTEC courses. (Business, ICT, H&S Care, Medical Science) • Students can have ONE set of feedback on each assignment they hand in IF they meet the deadline. They then have 10 days to hand in a second and final draft after receiving feedback. • If they miss the deadline they will not have an opportunity to do a second/improved draft. • If they fail an assignment there is an opportunity to do a DIFFERENT assignment which only addresses Pass criteria so means that a Pass is the highest grade they can then achieve in that unit. This is their FINAL chance, they can only hand in one draft of this assignment. • If they fail any assignments after being given this final opportunity it means they have failed the whole course as students must achieve at least a Pass in EVERY assignment in order to pass the course.
