<p>Our priority is to ensure that this year’s grading is as fair as possible, given
the exceptional circumstances, so that students can progress to the next stage of
their education or training.</p><p>For students who were due to sit GCSE, AS level
or A level exams this summer, schools and colleges have provided a centre assessment
grade for each subject - the grade they believe their students would have most likely
achieved had they been able to sit the exam. Ofqual published guidance on awarding
GCSE, AS and A levels which explained to schools and colleges how to do this fairly
and robustly, drawing on a range of evidence to reach a judgement. This includes any
non-exam assessment that students had already completed; the results of any homework
or mock exams; and any other records of student performance over the course of study.
This could include predicted grades for university applications but centre assessment
grades are not the same as predicted grades.</p><p> </p><p>To make sure that grades
are awarded fairly between schools and colleges, exam boards are putting all centre
assessment grades through a process of standardisation using a model developed by
Ofqual.</p>
