<p>Following the cancellation of this year’s exams, the exam boards will be providing
students with calculated grades, wherever possible. No exams will take place in summer
2020.</p><p>There will be an opportunity for students to sit exams in the autumn term,
if they feel their calculated grade does not reflect their ability. There will also
be a small group of students for whom there is not enough evidence for a calculated
grade to be derived in the summer, including some home educated students. It is particularly
important that these students are able to achieve grades through the additional exam
series.</p><p>We have published guidance that sets out our expectation that the exam
centre that submitted entries for students for exams in summer 2020 should enter them
in the autumn if they wish to take exams, or take responsibility for ensuring that
they have somewhere appropriate to sit their exams in exceptional cases where attending
the original centre is not the best option for the student. This arrangement extends
to all students who wish to take exams in the additional autumn series, including
those who are home educated.</p><p> </p>
