Introducing new measures to support students to complete their Cambridge Nationals NEA
11 March 2025
Based on your feedback, we’ve made some improvements to support students who face unexpected disruption when completing their NEA assignments.
We have introduced two new support measures:
- For Year 10 students who face unexpected disruption: You can apply for a deferral of NEA submission from June of Year 10 to January of Year 11 if a student is unable to complete an NEA assignment as planned due to exceptional circumstances.
- For Year 11 students: They can adapt work from a previous live assignment (in a new academic year).
Our subject advisor, Sarah Ash, has written a blog explaining these measures. We’ve also created updated guidance to support you with the process.
If you have any queries about this update, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998 or email us at support@ocr.org.uk.
