Dear FOI Requests,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I will address each point in turn below:
1. Please supply information for all 3 sittings for the time period selected.
1b, The syllabus is broken down into 6 broad areas of study:
"painting and related media..." etc.
As each of these has specific syllabus content I have assumed that markers would need to allocate the work against one of these categories for assessment. I would like the breakdown according to these categories please.
1c, The range of qualifications acceptable to mark this syllabus would suffice please.
1d, Would you please confirm what information is readily exportable in relation to enquiries within the cost limit? I assume that total number of enquiries for the syllabus is readily available?
Yours sincerely,
Karen
Dear Karen Kirby

Dear University of Cambridge,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of University of Cambridge's handling of my FOI request 'Request for information about iGCSE Art and Design marking process'.
I have yet to receive any of the requested information.
I would like to add further clarification to the request:
In relation to the information about examiners - would you please update this as follows:
For the marker for Component 3 of the 2019 Art and Design iGCSE (November), I would like the marking history with CIE, recent marking grade and qualifications.
To update the request in regards to appeals - would you please provide only the number and success rate of enquiries or appeals for the same syllabus for all sittings in 2018 and 2019.
I hope this clarification is of assistance and I look forward to receipt of all requested information promptly.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...
Yours faithfully,
Karen
