Coronavirus (COVID-19): cancellation of GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2020
What will happen to those who have already done some non-exam assessment?
Students who were due to sit A level, AS level or GCSE exams this summer will receive a calculated grade. The calculated grade process will take into account a range of evidence including, for example, non-exam assessment and mock results, and the approach will be standardised between schools and colleges. There’s separate guidance from Ofqual on awarding GCSE, AS and A levels which includes the implications for non-exam assessment.
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study.
As an apprentice you will:
- work alongside knowledgeable staff
- earn valuable experience
- gain job-specific skills
- earn a wage and get holiday pay
- study towards a related qualification (usually one day a week)
Apprenticeships take 1 to 4 years to complete depending on their level.
You can apply for an apprenticeship while you’re still at school. To start one, you’ll need to be:
- 16 or over
- living in England
- not in full-time education
Where can I look for jobs?
Recruitment agencies and online jobsites are a great place to start if you are unsure about the type of work you would like to do.
Work Experience is a great way to get your foot on the employment ladder and give you valuable experience that can set you apart from other candidates.
