Following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK government has decided that the Summer 2021 examination series will not go ahead as planned. Instead, teachers will determine pupil grades, based upon a range of evidence verified by school.
These results will then be reviewed by the exam boards who designed each course, before awarding the final grades which reflect pupil performance on content pupils have been taught, and allow pupils to confidently progress to the next stage of education or into employment.
