Exams 2021
How GCSEs, AS and A levels will be awarded in summer 2021:
How your grade will be determined
- graded by teacher judgement, with grades signed off by your head of department and your head teacher before being submitted to the exam board
- not graded by an algorithm
- school assessments can continue - your school or college will let you know the timings of any assessments
- you’ll only be assessed on what you’ve been taught
- your school or college will tell you the evidence they will use to determine your grade
- you will not be told what grade has been submitted for you
Evidence

- schools and colleges can use questions provided by exam boards if they choose to do so
- schools will follow their centre policy
