A belated Happy New Year to you!
This update includes a link to the Ofqual consultation and a reminder about the free access to the Financial Times that you can get for both you and your students.
The consultation on how GCSE, AS and A level grades should be awarded in Summer 2021 closes on 29 January.
While the final arrangements for assessment of GCSE, AS and A levels in Summer 2021 are continuing to evolve, we will work closely with you and provide all the support you need to ensure that students receive grades this Summer that fairly reflect what they know, understand and can do. We are monitoring closely the impact of arrangements as they finalise.
The entry deadline is rapidly approaching and it is important that you make your entries as usual by 21 February, to ensure that students receive their qualification grade this Summer. Please make entries for the specification that your students have studied.
The Financial Times is offering free online subscriptions to students aged 16-19, their teachers and schools around the world, and to colleges of further education in the UK.
These monthly podcasts cover a couple of news stories each month as well looking at a topic from the spec and looking at an exam question.
