Dealing with COVID‑19

• Centre Assessed Grades (CAGs) capture – In 2020 we provided a marksheet specifically for the collection of CAGs with the functionality to view all subject group assessments in a single markbook, with the ability to sort and capture the rank order of the results. A single download for all subject data also helped with the reporting of grades to the Awarding Bodies. We know from feedback that these features reduced the time and stress in the collation of data for the summer 2020 exam series.
• COVID monitoring of remote learning – sample markbooks are available if you need to track engagement with remote learning across your curriculum. Assessment may look different currently, but our markbooks ensure teachers can record key assessments completed and quickly see the impact of this on student progress. This helps teachers adjust the support for those students who are falling behind or provide work that reinforces learning.
• Sample markbooks – sample GCSE and A level exam papers in a QLA format for evidence-based assessment tracking that builds a picture of students' understanding of key topics. Our markbooks are customisable to your school's individual approach to assessment and collation of evidence to support teacher assessment for the 2021 exam series.
