I am trying to find out the last date that they will accept coursework. This question has nothing to do with when the deadline for centers to get the marks to the board is or regarding results. Please could you get back to me asap. Thanks

Phone up the exam board or ask your teacher.
Technically speaking the board does not accept coursework. They accept marks for coursework. They then request a sample of the coursework. Sometimes the sample asks for a few named pupils work, sometimes it asks for loads.
I am told that marking it takes ages, it is usually checked by two teachers. Marks have to be pretty spot or the board will moan. They have a habit of dropping everyones marks if the teachers mark too high. Hence teachers want this stuff in well before the board ask for marks to be sent in. Also sending in the marks involves a load of paperwork for some poor sod.

The schools and Colleges want ALL the Coursework BEFORE the Easter Holiday so it can be with the examing boards in time for proper marking.

I'm not sure I understand your question. As far as candidates at centres go, marks have to be sent to be received by the exam board by 15th May at the latest. Then the exam board will request the sample it wants sending off during the following week or two. The centre has to respond immediately to this request, so most schools probably collect all coursework together and store it in a central location prior to the marks being submitted. Marks that are not submitted by 15th May will not be accepted for this year's entry.

Your teacher should know it after all it is in their interest to see you pass your exams so that their placing on the league tables improves and the funding for next year is even better!!.
