We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new amendments to our GCSE (9-1) French, German and Spanish assessments, for which the changes will take effect in the summer 2021 exam series*.  

Students have been the complete focus of these amendments, which will improve all learners’ chances of success. The changes to our assessments will not affect day-to-day teaching; there’ll be no need to update schemes of work or lesson plans; but they will create a better exam experience for students.   

You can find out more about the changes we are making in our detailed letter and in our handy guide, both of which you can access below:
