JCQ Guidance Bulletin JCQ Guidance:
JCQ has today published guidance for schools and colleges on how GCSE and AS/A Level grades will be determined in England this summer.
Awarding organisations have worked hand-in-hand with school and college leaders, Ofqual and the DfE to ensure grades can be awarded as fairly as possible this summer.
Students will be graded by their school or college based on their performance across a range of evidence, and only on subject content they have been taught.
