<p>To support all students taking GCSE exams in 2024, the department has confirmed
that students will not need to memorise the usual formulae and equations for GCSE
mathematics, physics and combined science, as they must in a normal year. Ofqual is
holding a consultation on this proposal to provide formulae and revised equation sheets,
which closes on 30 November.</p><p>For schools that are directly affected by RAAC,
the department has asked Awarding Organisations (AOs) to provide as much flexibility
as possible within the confines of their processes and regulations, for example by
granting extensions to deadlines for coursework or non-examined assessments and sensitively
considering the timing of moderation visits. The department has asked AOs to agree
such arrangements in advance so schools have as much certainty as possible and can
plan their timetabling and teaching accordingly. The department encourages schools
that are having specific difficulties in delivering coursework or assessments to contact
the relevant AO as soon as possible, if they have not already done so.</p><p> </p><p>
