The letter from Gavin Williamson to Ofqual’s Chief Regulator where he sets out the arrangements for qualification assessments for 2021, can be read here. GCSEs, AS and A levels will be awarded using teacher assessed grades based on a range of evidence. Vocational and technical qualifications will be split into 3, each with a different approach to awarding. Other general qualifications will be awarded through alternative arrangements. Ofqual’s response letter can be read here, and the Chief Regulator’s explanation of the arrangements can be read here.
