Hi everyone

Ofqual has today outlined the process for vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs) this summer. This includes some of our most popular qualifications, our Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals. We've summarised the details here but can confirm that the process for Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals will use calculated grades and available data, which is the same as for GCSEs and A Levels, to give students their final results this summer. The key thing is that students can progress to the next stage with the qualifications they deserve.

We know that many of you will still have questions that need answering about grades this summer. We’d like to thank you for your enormous patience at this anxious time. We continue to work closely with other exam boards, our regulator and the DfE so you can have clarity about every qualification. 

As we reach week three, we wanted to take the time to say 'thank you'. Thank you for continuing to adapt and deliver to students both in school and remotely. To support you our team of Subject Advisors have written some blogs with ideas for home and distance learning resources.

Whether you're taking time off over Easter or continuing to work through, we're here to support you and help students to progress with grades they can be proud of, despite these very challenging times.
