Summer 2021 Exams Update

Updated: 16/04/2021


Following the government announcement that formal GCSE and BTEC exams will not be going ahead as planned this summer, we can now confirm what will happen instead and how this affects your child.

  • What has been announced? This year students will receive grades determined by teachers, with pupils only assessed on what they have been taught and not what they have missed. Teachers will assess students so that they can progress to the next stages of their education or careers and not be disadvantaged by the disruption of the last year. The latest guidance for parents is available here.
  • When will students get their results?The results are available on 12th August 2021. This is earlier than usual and will give extra time for any appeals to be assessed.
  • Will students be able to retake an exam in the autumn?Every year there are resit exams in Maths and English during the Autumn term. At the moment we do not know if other exams will also be available to be retaken.
