How GCSEs/A Levels etc Will Be Awarded this Year

This was forwarded to me earlier in case anyone is anxious to understand how their Child's GCSE/A Levels will be awarded this year given the disruption...

Advice from Ofqual.  

Astonishing they can come up with a relatively reasonable methodology in such time under the circumstances.

Since the Secretary of State for Education announced that the 2020 exam series in England would be cancelled to help fight the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have worked at speed to develop a process which fairly recognises students’ work and makes sure they get their grades in time to progress. We have today, Friday 3 April, set out details about how GCSEs, AS and A levels will be awarded this summer and published further guidance for teachers, students, parents and carers.

For this summer’s awards, schools and colleges are being asked to provide centre assessment grades for their students. These should be fair, objective and carefully considered judgements of the grades schools and colleges believe their students would have been most likely to achieve if they had sat their exams, and should take into account the full range of available evidence. click here for full details
