This year grading will include an allowance for disruption so that overall results will be similar to those of 2019. Last September, Ofqual confirmed a return to pre-pandemic grading in 2023, with protection in place for GCSEs, AS and A levels against the impact of disruption, including from the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2021, when students began studying their GCSE and A level course, Ofqual set out a two year plan for grading. We are also ensuring that students continue to have access to high-quality tutoring, through the National Tutoring Programme and 16-19 Tuition Fund. More information on what support is available, how to prepare for exams and who marks your work is available on Gov.uk and through the Joint Council for Qualifications. Normal assessment arrangements remain in place for T Levels, for both core assessments and occupational specialism assessments. The GCSE, AS level and A level exam timetable has also been designed to space out exam papers in the same subject to give students more time to revise between papers than before the pandemic. There will also be protection for students taking GCSEs, AS levels and A levels when it comes to grading, which we explain below. To acknowledge that students may still have experienced some disruption they will continue to be supported in GCSE maths, physics and combined science with formulae and equation sheets during exams.
