GCSE 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.
