Awarding of GCSE Grades

As a result of the Covid-19 crisis, the summer 2020 GCSE exams have been cancelled.  This is obviously causing great concern to our students who would have been taking their exams.  It is not clear as yet exactly how GCSE grades will be awarded. The guidance that has been issued so far can be found here:

At this time we are waiting for more detailed guidance from the Department for Education and the exam boards.  We are not able to give any indication of what the specific grades might be until we have further details.
