We want to ensure that no student is disadvantaged if they are unable to take their exam or assessment during the 2020/21 academic year.

We are working with Ofqual, awarding organisations, and other stakeholders, including through a public consultation, to agree the arrangements that will be put in place so that students receive a fair grade at the end of their course.
