International Science Qualification News September 2026
Hello colleagues,
Welcome back to a new academic year! I hope those of you who are returning from a holiday have had some quality rest and relaxation, and that you are looking forward to working with your students in the year ahead. This update repeats some key information you may have missed from the past couple of months including links to key results support for those of you analysing results or supporting students who sat exams in May and June. There's also a reminder that we are looking for teachers to help us improve our IAL science courses, links to find the IAL Biology scientific articles for the October Unit 5 exam, and 'onboarding guides' for anyone new to teaching our IAL courses. You'll also find the usual key dates, upcoming training and FAQs below.
As ever, don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help in any way - why not book a Teams call with me (follow the link below) if it would be helpful to talk something over?
Best wishes,
Tim Lawrence
