For GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition (J309), we have updated the MC1 and MC2 marking forms for the non-examined assessment components 02/03 and 04/05.

We've updated these forms to allow the recording of ‘0’ (zero) marks in each section. For the interactive versions of the forms, the automatic calculation feature is also now updated.  

Please use these updated forms for the submission of candidate work from the June 2026 onwards. 

You can view the updated marking forms below:
