Due to the current pandemic, exams, results day and appeals had a new process in 2020. For more details, check out our article on What You Need to Know about GCSEs and A-levels 2020.
On the 12 August the education secretary announced that GCSE and A-level students in England could accept their calculated grade, or appeal to receive a valid mock result, or sit autumn exams to ensure the achievements of young people are recognised.
If you are unhappy with your summer GCSE grade, you can appeal. There are more details here.
This year there will be an opportunity to take ‘resit’ GCSE exams in November. These exams will start on Monday 2 November and finish on Monday 23 November.
The deadline for entries will be 4 October for English Language and mathematics. For all other subjects, the deadline will be 18 September.
