It’s time to complete the final drafts of both parts of your NEA.

The non-negotiable final deadline deadline for these is Monday 11th March.

Failure to meet these deadlines will result in our being unable to enter you for the A Level.

We cannot stress how important this deadline is, or how important it is that you submit work that is of the highest possible standard.

You will have had the opportunity in lessons to discuss the feedback your teachers have given you. You will also be able to email them to clarify any questions you have. Do this sooner rather than later.

Hand-in details

The final hand-in process involves submitting your work electronically and on paper, in person.

To submit your work electronically, you need to click here* and upload two documents:

• Your language investigation as one Word document – including unannotated data. This must be titled Your Name – Language Investigation (e.g. Nadine Coyle – Language Investigation).
• Your original writing piece and commentary as one Word document – including a link to your style model (if it’s available online) at the start. Your references section should follow your commentary. This document must be titled Your Name – Original Writing (e.g. Nicola Roberts – Original Writing).

*Note: if there are any issues with Dropbox being blocked, please email your work to s.shovlin@lutterworthcollege.com.

You may only submit your paper copies after submitting online.

To submit your paper copies, you need to come to O4 on Monday 11th March between 1.45pm and 2.00pm.

You must hand in the following documents in order, and treasury-tagged together into one pack.

• 1. AQA Candidate Record Form (completed in class before the deadline)
• 2. Coursework Cover Sheet (completed in class before the deadline)
• 3. Investigation Moderation Record Form
• 4. Original Writing Moderation Record Form

  • Methodology
  • Analysis (in sections)
  • Conclusion
  • Bibliography

At 2.00pm on Monday 11th March, electronic submissions will close.

If you are ill on the day of the deadline, you must contact me to let me know, and arrange to submit the work on paper as soon as you are back in. The work must still be submitted electronically by the deadline.

If you have any questions about any aspect of the NEA, email your teacher or me.

Remember that you can find plenty of useful material on both aspects of the NEA in our Dropbox folder.
