5. GCSE May/June 2015 Series– Controlled Assessments 

The dates indicated are for the submission of controlled assessment tasks to moderators etc. Centres will of course need to ensure that the date for the completion of work by candidates precedes these dates by a 

sufficient margin to allow for the assessment, and internal moderation (if required) of the work by subject teachers). Marks will then need to be entered via the online marks submission area of the WJEC secure 

website in order to generate the list of candidates who will make up the sample. It is anticipated that the mark-submission pages will be available from 9 March for GCSE subjects. Subject teachers 

should note that candidate cover sheets will be available to download from the WJEC website in January. Details of the moderators to whom samples are to be submitted will be available via the online marks 

submission area of the WJEC secure website. Centres will also be able to download moderator address labels so these will no longer be issued in hard-copy. 

*This is the final deadline, however, centres are encouraged to submit work earlier where possible.

2. Coursework Submission Dates 

THE DATE FOR SUBMISSION IS 4 MAY 

(N.B. Please note that this is the date for the submission of coursework to moderators etc. Centres will, of course, need to ensure that the date for the 

completion of work by candidates will need to precede 4 May by a sufficient margin to allow for the assessment, and internal moderation (if required) of the 

work by subject teachers.) Marks will then need to be entered via the online marks submission area of the WJEC secure website in order to generate the list of 

candidates who will make up the sample. It is anticipated that the mark-submission pages will be available from 16 March 2015. 

Subject teachers should note that candidate cover sheets will be available to download from the WJEC website. Details of the moderators to whom samples are 

to be submitted will be available via the online marks submission area of the WJEC secure website. Centres will also be able to download moderator address 

labels so these will no longer be issued in hard-copy.
