I ran several online events to support teachers to understand the process and consider the evidence they may use to help in deciding on centre assessed grades and a rank order. I hope those of you that were able to attend found this useful. If you were unable to attend I have included a recording of the event and the slides that were used in the session.

If you have concerns around how to support teaching and learning during school closure, as a result of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are providing free access (these resources will be available to you free of charge for 90 days, during the school closures) to some of our digital secondary resources, which can be accessed in school or at home.
