Ofqual and DfE Decisions on proposed changes to the assessment of GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2022
Ofqual confirmed on 30th September that in fairness to History GCSE and A Level students:
1. Grade boundaries will be set by exam boards at a midpoint between 2021 and 2019 to ensure that more students get higher grades in 2021 compared to pre-pandemic levels.
2. There will be optional topics and content in GCSE history
(the provision of advance information on the focus of the content of exams, in the majority of subjects at GCSE, AS and A level therefore does not apply in history)
