Following the cancellation of exams, grades for 2021 were awarded through a process of teacher-assessed grades against a national standard, approved and awarded by the exam boards. 

Teacher assessed grades

The teacher assessed grade is the teacher’s professional judgement of the child’s working at grade against a national standard. The grades were approved and awarded by the exam boards.  

The grades were based on a range of evidence including mock exams, non-exam assessment, homework assignments and any other record of student performance over the course of study and was subject to detailed internal and external review and analysis.

As a result of this process the government is not publishing performance data for any schools.
