Supporting schools with the ongoing impact of COVID-19

Wherever learning happens, we're here to help...

With the announcement of a national lockdown and further school closures from the UK government, we remain committed to supporting teachers, learners and families so that learning can continue during this period.

We are closely following government guidance, and as the situation unfolds we will keep you updated, particularly with regards to our general and vocational qualifications.

Qualifications

Supporting schools, colleges and teachers with the delivery of our qualifications is one of our key priorities. On 6 January 2021 the Education Secretary confirmed that GCSE, AS and A level exams will not go ahead this summer and will be replaced by a form of teacher-assessed grades, with training and support provided to ensure these are awarded fairly and consistently.

We will be working closely with Ofqual to understand what this means for our general qualifications and we will update our customers as soon as we have further information.

Mental health and wellbeing during difficulty

Feeling a certain amount of concern or worry is natural when we encounter difficult or unsettling times. We would like to support wherever we can, from mindfulness practice to safeguarding and homeworking during COVID-19. We've pulled together resources suitable for teachers, parents and young people.
