Evidenced Centre Grades
This webpage outlines Westminster City School's arrangements for GCSE and A Level grades in summer 2021.
In January 2021, the UK Government closed schools and there was a return to remote teaching for most young people, to help limit the spread of COVID-19. As many currently studying for their GCSEs and A Levels had experienced disruption during the previous academic year, the UK Government also decided that summer 2021 exams could not be held as usual.
However, grades will be awarded to help young people continue to the next stage of their education, training or employment. Following a wide-ranging consultation, the UK Government has agreed that, in place of a full programme of summer 2021 exams, grades for subjects will be based on a school assessment of the standard at which young people are performing.
Arrangements at Westminster City School
At Westminster City School, this meant we continued to teach full-time lessons up until Friday 7 May. Our young people then sat a number of mini exams across their GCSE or A Level subjects. This allowed our young people to demonstrate their skills and knowledge to the fullest and best extent.
Appeals process
Further information about the appeals process around our mini exams has been provided to our young people and their parents/carers. Our Deputy Headteacher has produced a Loom video explaining this process, which can be viewed on our School's Vimeo page.
In addition, at the end of this webpage, you can download:
- Our centre policy for teacher assessed grades
- Our A Level and GCSE appeals letter
Mini exams
Our mini exams ran from Monday 10 May until the week beginning 24 May, with our final date for mini exams being Friday 28 May. Papers were anonymised, so marking was as blind as possible to ensure fairness. We also agreed the following set of principles to guide our processes and decisions:
- Fairness – our School aims to determine grades which are fair to our young people given the circumstances;
- Equity – our School will provide support for all and extra support for those who might be most disadvantaged;
- Transparency – our School’s procedures will be accessible and open in order for there to be clear understanding and scrutiny by others;
- Clarity – our School will communicate regularly about our systems and processes with staff, students and their families;
- Progression – our School will aim to give the best grades possible given the evidence available so our young people can make important next steps;
- Validity – there will be checks and balances to ensure the measurement of student performance is accurate; and
- Evidence-based – our School will use a range of standardised and moderated information and as broad a base of evidence as possible.
Grading of our GCSE and A Levels will be a school-wide effort with hard work from our young people and our teachers, supported by a statistical modelling process and quality assurance. Our young people will receive grades following this process, with input from teachers and leaders, quality assurance by a range of leaders, and an exam board sampling system.
Further information about how evidence is gathered for grades is available at the end of this webpage, via the ECG Assessment Record Form for each course.
