Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to ensure that learners who wish to study a full A-Level in a single year have the opportunity to do so.

It is for schools and colleges to decide how they timetable A levels and over what period of time they are taught.

As part of the wider COVID-19 skills recovery response, the Department will fund young people aged 18 and 19 for an additional programme of study of high value level 2 and 3 qualifications, for up to a year from September 2020, if they cannot find employment or work-based training. This includes the delivery of eligible A levels where these are delivered in a single year.
