Dear Colleague,
How are you? We hope you had a relaxing long bank holiday weekend and that your work to determine grades for this summer is going smoothly.
In the last month we made a wide range of support for various aspects of this summer’s grading process available to you. See the first article below for more details and, as ever, please get in touch if you have any queries.
In last month’s newsletter we told you that the deadline for changing the tier that candidates are entered on was 21 April. This was true at the time, however please be aware that to further support you we’ll no longer be charging for tier changes this summer. See the article down at the bottom for more.
This week Ofqual announced the outcomes of their autumn 2021 consultation for GCSE, AS and A Level. Any student receiving a grade this summer (or who would if exams had taken place) can be entered and exams will be in the normal format, with no adaptations. AS and A level exams will be held in October, then GCSEs in November and December. For full details, see Ofqual’s consultation webpage.
As always, if there is any further support that OCR can provide for you in this current period then please do contact us. Our role is to support you as you deliver our qualifications.
