Dear Colleague, 

Welcome to the January qualifications bulletin.

I’d like to wish you all a happy new year and hope you had some time to take a well-earned break over the festive season.
As the new term begins, we’ll be providing you and your students with lots of support as you start to prepare for the summer exam series. On our general qualifications assessment support page you’ll find information on Ofqual updates, professional development opportunities and a link to our fantastic team of Subject Advisors who are available to support you all year round.

I do hope the GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths results day was a successful one for your students. You can check out our support page for students, parents and carers if they need additional guidance.

  • Key Dates

  • Modified papers deadline
  • Reminder about moderation sample size for internally assessed work from 2026
