Set Task Brief The National Trust wants to increase the participation of children and young people in its big issues and introduce this demographic to the work of the National Trust, in turn increasing the membership of these age groups. It is planning to launch a campaign targeting these groups and has a planned schedule of nationwide projects and events, taking place at some of its houses and estates throughout the summer months.

It is also looking to rebrand some of the staff uniforms, play areas, shops, cafés and items sold through its retail outlets. It is planning a national newspaper, magazine and media campaign in the run up to the launch with advertisements targeting children (6 10 years) and young people (11 15 years). It would like to commission work for the launch of this campaign from art and design practitioners.

Unit 6: Managing a Client Brief - Sample marking grid General Marking Guidance All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first learner in exactly the same way as they mark the last. Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. Examiners should mark according to the marking grid not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately. All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the learner s response is not rewardable according to the marking grid. Where judgment is required, a marking grid will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded. When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a learner s response, a senior examiner should be consulted. Specific Marking guidance The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically. Rows within the grids identify the assessment focus/outcome being targeted. When using a marking grid, the best fit approach should be used. Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most closely matches the learner response and place it within that band. Learners will be placed in the band that best describes their answer. The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer in response to the assessment focus/outcome and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that band. Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band depending on how they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points. 22 Pearson BTEC Level 3 Nationals in Art and Design Unit 6
