Internal AS assessment

[KV8333]

Hope someone can help. My daughter missed the internal deadline for her D&T AS coursework. She had finished all but the evaluation and the teacher has marked and submitted to the board. The deadline for actual submission isn't until the 15th May. She has since completed the Evaluation which is worth a further 10 marks but school have said its too late.
I take the point she shouldn't have missed the deadline but school did not need to submit anything until 15th May so could have kept pushing for it. She wasn't informed of any provisional grade and by the time she was told of the marks it had already been submitted. I have spoken to head but he is basically saying its my daughters fault for missing deadline. Anyone able to tell me if there is anything I can do? Many thanks.

She missed the deadline. There will have been plenty of reminders, ample time, probably extra intervention sessions, and she didn't do it.

A life lesson in meeting deadlines has happened.

She should have been told the provisional mark. Point the head to this.

15th May isn't a deadline for students, official or otherwise. Work needs to be collated, marked and moderated by then - that's why there are other deadlines for students. Wondering whether these were clear to your daughter, and how long after her deadline she submitted the evaluation.
School are being a bit zealous if they've sent the marks off already though. It may be worth another request.
As it's only AS, this may be a case of 'lesson learned' for next year.

Deadlines are set before the submission date so that there is adequate time for marking, moderation (which has to be booked in as cover often needed) and then the grades need to be uploaded all BY the 15th. The date for submission is the 15th but it really needs to be done before then so that the school can get the sample back from the exam board. If every school logs on at the last minute to submit on the 15th the system goes really slow and it can be difficult to do as you can't sit at your computer waiting to do it as you have lessons to teach etc.

Unfortunately, she will have been working on this a long time with knowledge of what she needs to do. Five hours a week timetabled, other study periods and a minimum of three hours out of school hours expected. Our Year 13 students often leave about 5pm when their badges stop working to swipe through the doors as they find it easier to work in school using the facilities than at home. This would be adequate time to complete the work.

As inflexible as it sounds the deadline is set for a reason and the school will have theirs. I am still working with some of my students who have not been good with the deadline, however this will impact into my weekends now as I will need to work full weekends to cover what is needed to turn it all around, at the detriment of marking preparation for my exam classes. One student asked this week for another chance to redo one element and I had to say no as I just can't do it without pulling all nighters myself and this is something I just can't do.
There has to be a cut off point. What I think sometimes students don't always realise is that, there is more than their class that is being taught by that member of staff so they are being pulled in more than one direction. It seems unfair to them I am sure,but they are one (important) part of a much bigger jigsaw.
