How do we appeal a moderation report?

Review the moderation report from NZQA, available on the school provider login.

Process

	Task	Outcome
Step 1	Identify the issues or areas of the report which you believe are in error, or with which you disagree
Step 2	Discuss the report and your concerns with the school's Principal's Nominee. Endeavour to differentiate between factual inaccuracies or errors, and matters of professional judgement	PN will consider concerns
Step 3	Collate or re-gather the same material originally sent for Moderation. NB: an appeal cannot proceed without the original material to be re-considered.
Step 4	If the PN is in agreement, s/he will contact NZQA's School Relationship Manager to discuss the concerns	SRM will review the material and consider the concerns
Step 5	If the SRM believes the concerns deem it sensible, the materials will be passed to the appropriate National Moderator for re-consideration - independent of the actual moderator
Step 6	The National Moderator will present a revised moderation report where s/he determines the appeal is to upheld, and communicate the outcome of the appeal directly to the school.	final moderation report
