GCSE Astronomy (9-1) Observation Statement

Centres must complete an Observation Statement to confirm that reasonable steps have been taken to ensure each candidate sitting the Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 in GCSE (9-1) in Astronomy (1AS0) exam has completed at least one unaided and one aided observation.

In our GCSE Astronomy Specification on Appendix 5, a declaration form is presented for centres to complete - we now ask that centres only complete the below Observation Statement on our website instead.

Any failure by centres to provide the Observation Statement will be treated as malpractice and/or maladministration.

The deadline to submit this form is 15 April.
