On 23 February 2021, Rt Hon Gavin Williamson CBE MP, Secretary of State for Education sent a letter to Simon Lebus, Ofqual’s Chief Regulator. It sets out how:
- GCSEs, AS and A levels should be awarded this year using teacher assessed grades based on a range of evidence
- vocational and technical qualifications will be split into 3 each with a different approach to awarding
- other general qualifications will be awarded through alternative arrangements
Read Simon Lebus’ response to this letter, which confirms Ofqual’s decisions about how these qualifications will be graded in 2021.
