General Qualifications Bulletin - UK - Issue 35
Dear Colleagues
I want to start off by saying a big thank you. From the senior leaders, heads of department, teachers and exams officers, to the teaching assistants, technicians, administrative staff, operations teams and everyone in between, you have all made this year happen.
We have passed another major milestone last week with all exams now sat. To the many of you who will now be working as examiners, thank you for your commitment and hard work to ensure papers are marked and grades can be awarded.
This week there will be a group of us from Pearson attending the Festival of Education. If you are attending do come and say hello, it’s always great to speak to you and I hope that there will be some helpful information on our stand and also throughout the panelist sessions we are involved with.
We’ve just launched our first Pearson School Report. It reveals what more than 6,500 teachers in England and sector experts think about education in 2022, as well as their challenges and hopes for the future. There is more information about this in this bulletin and it is a very interesting read.
We only have one more edition of the bulletin this term, after this one, and we will be sharing more detail about appeals and what to expect in the buildup to results day, as well as other important and helpful information. For those of you that are Exams Officers, we are running two live Zoom events to help you prepare for results day and the post results period, that you may want to attend. If you are a new Exams Officer or it is your first series for a while, it is worth attending these sessions.
In the meantime, if you need any more information or want to share any feedback with us, you can always get in touch. We will always do our best to get you the answers as quickly as possibly.
