Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the March qualifications bulletin.
As we head towards the Easter break, there’s plenty to share this month. |
|
|
You’ll find updates on support for summer 2026, alongside a new Ofqual blog exploring why it’s so important to talk with students about the use of AI in coursework. We’ve also included key information on summer question paper dispatch, so you know what to expect and when.
Finally, there are two consultations where your voice really matters:
- An Ofqual consultation on proposed changes to the assessment of GCSE mathematics, physics and combined science.
- A UCAS consultation on the UK higher education application process.
I encourage you to take a look and have your say. |
