My son was predicted an A for Photography A level, and achieved an A at AS level. However, he got a D. Very disappointed as you can imagine, and has not got into University as a result. We are alarmed that only one student in his year achieved an A, and along with many other students he asked for a nd paid for a re-mark. The school remarked his Sociology paper which got moved from a B to an A (horay) but said Photography couldn't be remarked as every A1 and A2 paper in the school would also have to be remarked. So that leaves us very frustrated. Our school has an amazing Art facility and the students normally do very well in Art and Photography studies. Can anyone please explain why we have this frustrating situation, and if there's anything we can do (either individually or en-mass with other parents) I would really appreciate a reply from anyone who is involved in teaching or examining an Art subject as it appears the marking is completely different from academic subjects. Many thanks!
