Exams
All Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) policies are available on the Trust Policies page via this link.
This toolkit is designed to explain how qualifications are graded. It has been produced with headteachers and teachers in mind but will help anyone with an interest in finding out more.
Headteachers and teachers play an important role in helping students and parents to understand how grading works, from exam marking to the setting of grade boundaries. But even if you understand, it can still be a hard process to explain to someone else.
These resources can support you to have those conversations and answer some common questions about such topics as:
· how exam papers are marked
· how grade boundaries are set
· how the quality of a student’s work in their exams determines the grade they get
