At present, there is no decision on how GCSEs and A Levels will be awarded. The exam boards and Ofqual will issue agreed guidance shortly. Until then, it is pointless to speculate. There are a lot of options available to them, including rescheduling the exams, using statistics, teacher assessment, predicted grades and / or samples of current work. The decision that they make will be as fair to students as it is possible to be. Please reassure students and parents who are fretting, and encourage them to remain calm. Once the official position is agreed, we will all be in a better position to advise children.
