Exam grading: senior leader and headteacher survey

Overview

We want to find out where school and college leaders and headteachers find information about GCSE, AS and A level exam grading, and how they use it with students. Please help us by sharing your thoughts via this survey.

We think it's important that students have a chance to understand how their grades are determined, so they can be confident in the results they receive. And we know that students look to their school or college more than any other source for information about exams and grading.

Thank you in advance for your input.
