Only 7% of secondary schools surveyed by schools body said they would rely entirely on tests ‘sat in exam-style conditions’
Few schools and colleges are to rely solely on internal exam results to set A-level and GCSE grades this year, although most schools in England say exams will remain the most important factor in assessing their pupils’ results this summer.
A snap poll of state and independent secondary schools by the Association of School and College Leaders found that just 7% said they would rely entirely on tests “sat in exam-style conditions” to assess final grades, despite fears among parents and families that many schools would try to replicate the traditional exam season.
