As we reach the end of another school year, I wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt "well done" for all your hard work and dedication. This year has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and through it all, your commitment to providing the best education for your students has shone brightly. Thank you for your tireless efforts, your creativity, and your passion for teaching.

This month, my update is full of resources to help you with planning for the next school year, including a variety of materials to support your curriculum development, lesson planning, and assessment strategies. These resources are meant to make your preparation process smoother and more effective, setting you up for success in the upcoming year. I will also be on hand if you need any support over the summer break and for results days.

As you prepare for next school year, I also want to remind you of the importance of taking a well-deserved rest this summer break. You have earned this time to relax, recharge, and spend quality moments with your loved ones. Thank you once more for everything you do and have a wonderful break!

 BTEC Level 1/2 Tech Award Updates


As the end of the summer series draws nearer, we have released information and support for the next school year to help with your planning, including the 2024-2025 Key Dates Schedule. You can also find further support and guidance under the drop-down menus below.

Date Tech Awards (2022)
16 August 2024 Restricted release of results to centres 
22 August 2024 Release of results to learners
26 September 2024 Reviews of marking and moderation (ROMM) deadline

Please note, due to the terminal assessment rules, the externally assessed component must be sat during the same assessment series in which certification for the qualification is requested.

The terminal assessment rule requires learners to take the external assessment at the end of their qualification (the series in which the learner certificates). This means that learners must sit internal component assessments either prior to or in the same series as the external assessment to fulfil this terminal rule.

If a learner chooses to retake an internal assessment in a series after they sat the terminal external assessment, they will also need to resit the external component to satisfy the terminal rule.

Learners are allowed one retake of each internal component, and one resit of the external assessment within the programme.

Watch our video about retaking assessments

Spanning 1520–1920, this Tate Britain exhibition dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.
