Ofqual acts to ensure that the new A* grade at A level is fairly awarded

12 February 2010

Ofqual has today (Friday, February 12) published on its website an open letter on the awarding of the new A* grade at A level.

Summer 2010 sees the first awarding of the new grade, which rewards exceptional performance and will allow for improved discrimination between the best performing candidates.

The letter, sent to secondary schools and colleges, sets out how the A* grade is to be awarded and the approach being taken to ensure fairness and parity across all grades with awards given in previous years.

The letter can be downloaded from www.ofqual.gov.uk
