Read the latest news for Edexcel A level Music and A level Music Technology. This will include the latest information for summer 2021.
Summer 2021
We are waiting for the outcome of the Ofqual consultation and this is expected before the end of this month. Once the outcomes have been published and to help prepare you for submitting the Teacher Assessment Grades I have arranged a number of support sessions that will focus on what you will need to do, the evidence you should consider and the latest details of how to submit the grade. Some information may not be available when the sessions run but they are intended to clarify things for summer 2021. The dates of the sessions may also change if the outcomes of the consultation aren't published beforehand.
Please book a place on a support session (200 max per session).
