Hello!
My daughter is in year 13 and she does art A-level.
She applied to UCL, Sheffield and Edinburgh universities for architecture, already got offer in the latter, waiting for UCL.
In the interviews they were very much impressed of her art portfolio.
But we have a 'silent' conflict with my daughter's art teacher.
I will not give here too many details, but just to mention: the teacher's daughter applied to UCL and Edinburgh last year and failed, and this can be the reason.
In any case the A-level mark is 40% final exam and 60% the mark of art projects during the year.
My daughter invests a lot in art, we have opinions of professionals that her art work is a very high lever, the head of art department in the school says that my daughter deserves A*, but the art teacher keeps marking her projects B and C.
Are there any legal means how we can influence the teacher?
Can we have my daughter's art projects marked independently?
This is really important, as the career of my daughter depends on the grade she gets for her final art project. If she gets B or C in art A-level, she will miss UCL, Edinburgh etc.

Is there a legal way to appeal on A-level art project grades?
