A-level science practical endorsement: monitoring visits cycle 3

Published: Tuesday 1 Oct 2019

If your school/college is scheduled for a monitoring visit by us this academic year, your allocated adviser will be in touch in the coming weeks to make arrangements for monitoring. Initial visits will take place between October 2019 and March 2020 and schools and colleges can be visited at any point within the cycle 3 practical visit timelines.

The cross-board messaging on the practical endorsement for GCE sciences provides more information on the monitoring process, including switching exam boards and the requirement for schools/colleges to inform the exam board of their intention to offer A-level sciences at the start of the course.

If you’ve just started to teach A-level sciences to your students, it’s important you contact us to let us know so we can notify you of your visit. Please contact the monitoring team at: Monitoringreports2019@aqa.org.uk.
