Here is the press release from the UK Government with further news on how GCE A-Levels and GCSE grades will be decided now UK schools have been closed and exams cancelled (note: This does not apply to International A-levels or International GCSE’s — these exams will go ahead as planned).
The exam regulator, Ofqual, and exam boards will work with teachers to provide grades to students whose exams have been cancelled this summer, following our actions to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The exam boards will be asking teachers, who know their students well, to submit their judgment about the grade that they believe the student would have received if exams had gone ahead.
To produce this, teachers will take into account a range of evidence and data including performance on mock exams and non-exam assessment – clear guidance on how to do this fairly and robustly will be provided to schools and colleges. The exam boards will then combine this information with other relevant data, including prior attainment, and use this information to produce a calculated grade for each student, which will be a best assessment of the work they have put in.
