Ofqual has recently released a blog to confirm that they have decided to allow exam boards to use grade 3-3 on the higher tier for this summer, matching grade 3-3 on the foundation tier, to ensure all students’ performance is recognised appropriately.
We can confirm we have put this in place in time for results to be issued.
