Edexcel GCSE Music: September 2021 update

Autumn 2021 series

Entry for the autumn 2021 exam series for GCSE, AS and A level examinations is restricted to students who have received a teacher-assessed grade in summer 2021 and to students who are able to demonstrate that they would have entered summer 2021 exams had they not been cancelled. 

Summer 2022 exams and assessments

Ofqual has confirmed that the changes made to the 2021 series NEA components will be carried forward onto the Summer 2022 series. We can confirm we will apply the changes that were in place for summer 2021 to the 2022 series.

At the current time, the Appraising exam is planned to go ahead in summer 2022 with no changes.

I have arranged a short update and support session, on Tuesday 14 September at 3.30pm - 4.00pm, for teachers to attend to confirm the changes that are in place and give an opportunity for any questions.
