Episode notes

How do exam boards review their assessments? When do reviews happen? And what kind of amendments are made for future exams? To help answer some of these questions, Craig Barton talks to Georgina, AQA’s assessment design manager, chair of examiners for biology Michelle, and head of curriculum for history Eoin. Louisa Cotterill, Alcester Academy’s head of humanities, then looks at the ways data can be used to monitor classroom progress throughout the year.
