GCSEs 2021: exam centres are upset with exam board email blunder

Teachers say the response from exam board AQA is 'poor' after late-night email requesting grade evidence

An "unacceptable" email from exam board AQA that gave schools and exam centres just eight working hours to submit sample evidence for grades.

While the next day schools received an email from AQA requesting samples of student work to be submitted by 10am on Wednesday.

Ofqual had said that schools would have two full days – 48 hours – to submit the work.

AQA then changed its deadline twice within 12 hours of last night's outcry.

This gave exam centres just 8 hours to submit evidence!
