As the new academic year gets underway, new research from learning company Pearson reveals positivity among teachers about the overall health and happiness of schools, but highlights the need for a whole-school-community approach to support mental health in the wake of Covid-19.

Following a competitive bidding process overseen by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education, we can announce today that Pearson will develop, deliver and award the T Level Technical Qualifications in Finance and Accounting. 

We know this has been a particularly difficult and stressful time for you and your students. We understand parents, teachers and students will want to know more about the announcement by Ofqual at 4pm this afternoon which confirmed their decision to award A Level, GCSE, Extended Project Qualification and Advanced Extension Award in maths grades on the basis of the Centre Assessment Grades submitted. Our teams are working around the clock with the Department for Education and Ofqual to ensure that we are able to issue any revised grades to students as soon as possible. We will work as quickly as we can, and our priority is to ensure that students are able to progress on to the next steps in their education and careers. 

Leading explorers, creatives, campaigners and entrepreneurs are joining forces with learning company Pearson to inspire and recognise the young pioneers who are striving to make a positive difference in the world as part of a new awards initiative.

During these extraordinary times, many teachers, learners and families have been feeling uncertain and anxious about the closure of schools and the cancellation of exams this summer. We know this has been extremely unsettling, and it remains our overwhelming priority to support you throughout this unprecedented situation.
