Dear Parent/ Carer
    
 Ofqual is seeking views on how an autumn exam series for GCSEs, AS and A levels should run this year, in a consultation that is open until the 9 April.
They are keen to hear from students and parents on their proposals, which include:

• the autumn series being open to any student who entered or who had intended to enter to take exams this summer
•  holding AS and A level exams in October and GCSE exams in November/early December
•  grades being determined by a student's exam performance only
•  students being able to use the better of the summer or autumn grade
•  the use of the normal reviews of marking and appeal arrangements

      
I have attached the consultation document if you are interested in reading it.
