Consultations
We respond regularly to consultations and calls for evidence from government departments, Parliamentary Select Committees and other bodies.
Department for Education/Ofqual consultation on how GCSE, AS and A level grades should be awarded in summer 2021

Our response to this Ofqual consultation calls for the reinstatement of fieldwork, with appropriate accommodations being made, for GCSE, AS and A Level geography over the 2021-22 cycle.
Proposed changes to the assessment of GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2022
Our response to this consultation rejects the proposals on the basis that they would introduce inequality into the assessment of GCSE geography in 2022.
