Examinations

On 18 March 2020, the Secretary of State for Education announced1 that the summer 2020 GCSE, AS and A level exam series would be cancelled in order to help fight the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and that students due to sit the exams would be awarded a grade based on an assessment of the grade they would have been most likely to achieve had exams gone ahead. On 23 March, in a written statement to Parliament2, the Secretary of State explained the government’s intention that results would be issued to this year’s cohort based on a range of evidence and data, including performance on mock exams and non-exam assessment.

Any student who believes a grade they receive this summer does not reflect their ability will be able to sit an exam at the earliest possible opportunity in the autumn.

Students who are studying GCSE, AS or A level courses, and who are due to take exams in 2021, will also have experienced disruption to their education this year. To ensure that exams and assessments in 2021 are as fair as possible in the circumstances, Ofqual are now formally consulting on proposed changes to the way some GCSEs, AS and A levels will be assessed in summer 2021.
