Your teacher marks the work but a couple of essays are selected and sent to the exam board, along with the grade awarded by the teacher. If the examiners moderate and agree with the grades given for those pieces of work, nothing is changed. If they disagree and end up marking them down, the coursework from the entire class is automatically marked down too.
I know im not going to do well, basically my teacher genuinely has something against me, he said to me today "Henry Id worry if I were you, not because your not good at History but because I'm marking the coursework so dont expect much." I genuinely felt like crying, this is why I put the thread up. So how ever I structure my Part A I wont get above an E grade im sure.

Wow thats horrible, I'd speak to someone higher than your history teacher, that really is not on. I hope you do well nonetheless.
Well, he refuses to support me- doesnt want to look at my paragraphs or plans so doing good without guidance is going to be really hard, especially as my deadline is in 2 weeks :/
Tanx of the kind reassurance- if I do get a low grade when I think its not deserved I will go straight to the head, even the governors.
He is the head of History, I dont have a leg to stand on. Plus that would further irritate him :/
If you make your work full mark worthy, there is no way he will mark it at an E grade. If he does, bring in the draft with his markings to the head principle / assitant head and report the teacher.
I'm also starting Edexcel A2 History CW. Doing Russian History 1894 - 2008 breadth and I've chosen Boris Yeltsin's reforms for depth study.

Let me know how it goes
But making it fully mark worthy is easier said than done especially without support from my teacher :/
