Supporting you during coronavirus

Hi everyone

We hope you are keeping well.

Today (26 June) is the deadline to submit your centre assessment grades and rank orders per unit for Cambridge Technicals - if you haven't already submitted them, please do so today! The window for generating and submitting for Functional Skills is open until 6 July 2020.

We would like to take this opportunity say a big THANK YOU to everyone for all your hard work over the last few weeks. This was a brand new process and we appreciate all the extra work this involved. 

Now we have the information we need, we'll be working on the next step of standardising the grades, and ensuring your students receive the results they deserve in August. As a reminder, please ensure you keep your centre assessment grades and rank orders confidential.

We love hearing what our centres have been doing to support others during lockdown. This week we share a story of collaboration from Ron Dearing UTC in Hull who've been busy working with local companies to produce thousands of face shields for key workers. 

We hope to hear more detail about the appeals process next week as well as the outcomes of the autumn 2020 consultation. We also expect to hear more news about the summer 2021 arrangements shortly. 

As always, we’d like to thank you for your patience at this time.

Update: Life and Living Skills and Using ICT

If you have students who were expecting to complete assessments between 20 March and 31 July 2020, we will work with you to provide a calculated result for Life and Living Skills and Using ICT (Entry 3).

We've now produced more guidance on how to calculate your centre assessment grades.
Life and Living and Using ICT

The window to provide these grades to us is 29 June - 17 July.
