Latest Guidance on External Examinations
Ofqual has published detailed guidance relating to the grading of A Level and GCSE examinations this summer.
The process is based upon centre assessment grades and a centre-generated rank of students in a subject, formulated using a wide range of attainment evidence.
Merchant Taylors’ is committed to ensuring that all grades submitted to exam boards truly reflect the effort and attainment of students over the last two years and give a fair, reasonable and carefully considered judgement of the most likely grade a student would have achieved if they had sat their exams this summer and completed any non-exam assessment.
Ofqual has made it very clear that schools and other centres must not, under any circumstances, share the centre assessment grades nor the rank order of students with pupils or their parents before final grades have been issued. These grades must remain confidential to protect the integrity of the process and the judgements within it.
It is important that all students continue to work hard on their studies and develop a deep learning of their subjects before they move on to the next stage of their academic careers.
