Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions he has had with awarding bodies on ensuring that grades awarded to A-level students sitting exams during the autumn 2020 term take into account the atypical number of students sitting those exams in that period.
This is a matter for Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. I have asked its interim Chief Regulator, Dame Glenys Stacey, to write to the hon. Member for Barnsley Central and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
