Ofqual’s student guide to awarding summer 2021
Ofqual has published an easy-to-use ‘Student guide to awarding: summer 2021’ – which is written for students studying GCSEs, AS, A-levels, vocational, technical and other general qualifications. This guide complements the materials that Ofqual has already published for teachers. You may want to share this with your students.
The guide also contains important advice on where students in England and their families can go for more information and support, including with mental health concerns.
The new guide outlines how students can appeal if they believe a grade is wrong. For most qualifications, students will have the option of sitting exams this autumn to improve their summer grade
Exams Update: 25th February 2021
