The exam watchdog has written to all students due to take A levels and GCSES after this year’s exam season was cancelled due to coronavirus.
Students will receive grades based on their teachers' assessment of their work, with the exam boards providing external checking.
Sally Collier, Chief Regulator, Ofqual, said: “We have published a message to students to reassure them that we, and exam boards, will do everything we can to make sure that, as far as possible, grades are fair and that they are not disadvantaged in their progress to sixth form, college, university, apprenticeships, training or work because of these unprecedented conditions.” How will grades be calculated?
