“This cohort, and other students nationally, have had to cope with a great deal of concern regarding the way in which their results would be accurately predicted.

“This will have been particularly evident since the release of A-Level grades last week.

“In view of this, I am extremely thankful that the decision to revert to Centre Assessed Grades has been taken.

“I have no doubt that, in the absence of full examinations, this process gives the most accurate reflection of the commitment and potential shown, by all students throughout their GCSE studies.

“The grades issued have been through a review process which involved moderation from the Subject Leader of each department and the Senior Leader linked to that department.

“In view of this, our students can take confidence that the grades awarded have been issued with care and consideration.

“Whilst our students have not been able to prove, via GCSE examinations, that the grade awarded is a fair reflection of their ability; they have proved, day after day, that their work has been of the standard outlined in the awarded grade.
