Confirmed by Ofqual today.
Links to the actual consultation decision document which details the outcome for legacy resits at BOTH GCSE and A LEVEL where a subject has been overhauled. Basically our current year 11 will get two “bites at the cherry” – this is something our colleagues in FE felt strongly about and is the right thing for Ofqual to have done!
There were nearly 400 responses ( detailed here ) which on one hand is disappointing given the number of teachers that we have but is FABULOUS compared to previous consultations. We must use our voice and it is something I will keep reminding you to do.
I had a feeling that today something would be announced – I’d also pre-empted it with the below tweet in response to one from Ofqual.
Thanks to everyone that replied to the consultation and it is good to see that (and I quote my Twitter BFF Emma Bell) common sense has prevailed. I’m now off to update my “what we know and don’t know about the GCSE” blog post!!
Mel, great news. Wonder if they will do the same in Wales? ….
Last I heard WJEC were offering just the 1 resit in November 2016.
ooh … I dont know about Wales … who can I chase on that one?
Just DM your twitter with a photo from WJEC website. Not sure the site has updated yet.
