Industrial action
The Department for Education has issued guidance that recommends that schools should prioritise the running of examinations and assessments on any strike days, and should review their contingency plans to enable this to happen.
Schools, colleges and other exam centres should speak to the relevant awarding organisations if they are expecting any disruption that might affect the sitting of exams and assessments.
Replacement certificates
Ofqual does not hold copies of your certificates we cant tell you your grade or provide replacements. Certificates are held by the exam board you sat your qualification with. If you dont know which exam board you took your qualification with, ask your school. If your school dont know you will need to ask each exam board to do a search for you they will charge you for this.
Contact your exam board to get a replacement certificate. If your exam board no longer exists, your certificates will have moved to an existing board.Find out who now holds your certificates.
