Note from Ofqual on the Coronavirus and the Summer 2020 exam series

Please click here to view the Ofqual Update published 6th March 2020 as shown below

"We recognise that students, parents, schools and colleges will be concerned about the possible impact of coronavirus on the 2020 summer exam series. Our advice at this time is to continue to prepare for exams and other assessments as normal.

We continue to work closely with exam boards, other regulators and the Department for Education and we have met to plan for a range of scenarios, as the public would expect. Our overriding priorities are fairness to students this summer and keeping disruption to a minimum.

It is still many weeks until exams start and we will issue updated advice if necessary, giving schools and colleges as much notice as possible."

Exam Contingency Date

JCQ set a contingency day for GCSE Examinations should we sustain a national or local disruption during the May/June exam series.  The date for 2020 is Wednesday, 24th June.  From the last date of your exam until this contingency date MUST be kept free and available.  Should you choose not to do so, then you run the risk of missing an exam and not receiving a grade for the relevant qualification.
