Welcome to your Pearson Edexcel Citizenship Studies August 2023 subject update!
Hello colleagues,
I hope you have had a fantastic, restful summer so far! GCSE Results Day is finally upon us; for students, teachers, school staff, parents and carers, this is an incredibly important day and a culmination of countless hours of hard work!
Within this subject update, I've collated useful information and guidance documents to support you with results day and beyond. Please do get in touch with me if you have any queries or I can help with anything over this period.
Best wishes,
Susan Currey
Citizenship Studies Subject Advisor

This guide is designed for students, parents and carers and provides information about what to expect on results day and where to find further support if needed.
This short post-results support guide is designed to help you find the information you need to understand and analyse your students’ results, and what you can do if you have any queries about grading or marking.
This guide explains the approach all exam boards have taken to grading for summer 2023 exams, explaining the progress of setting grade boundaries and reviewing quality of student work.
We wrote to users in June advising that we have added an additional layer of security to protect centre and learner data.
In order to access documents and results through Edexcel Online and ResultsPlus over the summer exam period, Edexcel Online users need to set up their Multi-Factor Authentification (MFA) on their accounts.
