Dear Parents / Carers and Students,

On the 3^rd April 2020, The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulations (Ofqual) set out details on how GCSEs were to be awarded this Summer.

For this Summer’s awards, schools are being asked to provide centre assessment GCSE grades for their students. These must be fair, objective and carefully considered judgements of the grades schools believe their students would have been most likely to achieve if they had sat their exams, and should take into account the full range of available evidence.

Ofqual are also asking schools to provide a rank order of students within each grade. These results will be put through a National standardisation process before any student’s qualifications can be confirmed.

Schools have been told that they must not share their centre assessment grades with students, parents or carers, under any circumstances, until after final results are issued. Ofqual have stated that ‘results won’t be delayed after the dates they were expected in August’.

As and when we hear any more information, we will pass this on to you.

Thank you for all you are doing to look after your family's well-being and learning under these difficult circumstances.

Ms Evans
