Schools (centres) have been given very clear guidance from Ofqual on sharing grades with students, parents and carers. Centres must **not,** under any circumstances, share the centre assessment grades nor the rank of students with parents, carers or students themselves, **before** final results have been issued. This is to protect the integrity of teachers’ judgements, and to avoid teachers, heads of department, senior leaders or Heads of Centre being put under pressure by students and parents, to submit a grade that is not supported by evidence. In the event of any teacher or head of department being asked by a parent, carer or student about the grade they are going to award a student, they will simply refer back to the statement on our website. Please be assured that the process of awarding GCSE and A level grades will be rigorous, objective and fair.
