Please find attached a letter from Qualifications Wales outlining changes to the plans for GCSE, AS and A level assessments in the Spring and Summer terms 2021.
I previously wrote to you in December sharing the Welsh Government’s plans to cancel summer examinations in their normal format and replace them with the following:
- non-examination assessments such as coursework or oral assessment (where these are already part of the qualification)
- internal assessments which will be marked by teachers, and
- external assessments, marked by WJEC
Due to the current school closures, the internal assessments which were due to take place between February 22nd and April 23rd have been cancelled.
At this time the non-examination assessments and the external assessments will still go ahead. The external assessments are planned to take place between May 17th and June 29th.
As you can appreciate, things are changing constantly. I will share with you any information I receive from Qualifications Wales on the planned assessments.
I will communicate further with all students via a recorded assembly which will be placed on the Teams group for their year.
Rest assured that the staff at Morriston will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that all students are the best prepared they can be for the challenges that lie ahead to ensure they fulfil their potential.
Thank you for your continued support.
