GCSE Dance: submitting NEA sample files in summer 2024 

For summer 2024 we’ve made changes to the way you submit your non-exam assessment (NEA) coursework samples for GCSE Dance.  

For the summer 2024 series onwards, for GCSE Dance component 1 performance and choreography (8236/C), you’ll upload sample files and corresponding admin documentation to us digitally on Centre Services using Centre Marks Submission, so the same place where you submit your NEA marks.

Audio and visual files no longer need to be sent to us on a CD or memory stick, and hard copies of learners’ sample work will need to be submitted digitally.  

We’ve got detailed guidance on how to upload NEA files, including the candidate record forms and centre declaration sheet, as well as the programme note for both the duet/trio performance and the choreography for the requested sample once marks have been submitted. The guidance documents also have helpful questions and answers to support you. Remember to email a copy of the performance duration declaration form and NEA, fieldwork and live performance centre declaration form to us separately at NEAdeclaration@aqa.org.uk by 15 May 2024.

Get ready to submit moderated NEA files

So that you can be ready to submit files in April and May, we’ve got some helpful tips to help you prepare. There’s more information on our Centre marks submission pages.

Guidance on recording and submitting video evidence

We have guidance on the requirements for recording and submitting video evidence for component 1. The guide can be found in 'Assessment resources' on our qualification pages.

The deadline to submit NEA marks is 7 May 2024.
