We have now received accredition from QCA for all our revised GCSE specifications except Chinese and most of the specimen assessment material.
We are beginning our despatch of specifications and specimen assessment material to centres in the week beginning November 27th. The following subjects are included:
- Mathematics (specifications only)
- Science
- Art
- Drama
- French, German and Spanish
- Design and Technology
- Music.
In response to requests from centres we have in many cases included multiple copies of specifications. In the packs you will also find details of INSET, overviews of the subject area, guides for students and details of the revised Entry (certificate of achievement) qualifications.
We plan to mail out a further despatch of specifications to arrive in centres at the beginning of the Spring Term. In the meantime the specifications are available on this website. In some cases these are accredited specifications which are still in the process of being copy-edited. These will shortly be replaced by final versions.
If you have any queries about the GCSE specifications you may contact our Customer Response Centre by completing our online enquiries form, telephone 0870 240 9800 or fax 020 7758 6960.
