Exams update from Ofqual and information to share with parents

Ofqual have just published new exam information resources for schools, colleges and parents.

This information can be found below or alternatively on our ‘Exams’ page on the website under the heading ‘Information for students and parents and/or carers’ https://www.ridgewood.dudley.sch.uk/exams

The Ofqual guide for schools and colleges brings together information schools and colleges need to know about exams and assessments.

It explains what you can expect from awarding organisations regulated by Ofqual and covers qualifications which are typically taken in an academic year in centres, including the Technical Qualification (within a T Level). Changes in place to arrangements for qualifications in 2023, including grading and new actions to support the issuing of level 3 Vocational Technical Qualification results, used for progression to higher education, are included.

Ofqual’s Chief Regulator Dr Jo Saxton has also written an open letter to parents to explain arrangements and the support in place for exams this summer, as well as the information available to students.

Ofqual have also updated their blog on everything you need to know about this exams season, including the latest information on what support is in place for students and how grading will work.
