Exams
GCSEs will be based on a process involving teacher assessment against national standards, internal quality assurance, and external quality assurance by the exam boards. The national process defined by the Department for Education and the exam's regulator, Ofqual is as follows:
Teachers will assess learners against a national standard as defined by the exam boards. Departments will submit grades which will be quality assured by the school. This internal quality assurance process will have to be signed off by the exam board to ensure it is rigorous and in line with national standards. Our school results will be quality assured externally by the exam boards. Then the exam boards will award students their final grades.
