AQA Food Preparation 8585

Is anyone’s DC in year 11 taking AQA 8585 Food.

my DC (and all her cohort) are way behind and have only done one of the three NEA1 practicals. Due to impending mocks and teacher absence, it will likely be mid December before they finish NEA1. Teacher has said that although NEA2 brief was issued on 1st November, she will not hand it out until January. This is massively stressing out DC who wants to start thinking about it. I can’t find it online, can anyone take pics of it and post them here. It’s not embargoed, just awkward teacher issues.

No you won’t find it online as it is given to schools under the AQA secure website. If any teacher had access it on MN I suspect it would not be appropriate for them to post it, sorry. I can only suggest your DD asks the teacher for info, even a rough idea. I am sure others in the class will feel the same. At least so she can think about it over Christmas, surely.

Maybe try including head of department, form tutor or head of year. At least ot means someone else is aware there us an issue.
