The Charter School North Dulwich followed a rigorous process for both GCSEs and BTECs to determine students’ grades.
This included internal tests sat in exam conditions, coursework and homework. Grades have been awarded based on the specifications of the exam boards for each subject, in-school tasks followed the same format as awarding organisation materials and were marked in a way that reflects awarding organisation mark schemes.
All subject grades were subjected to moderation by subject leaders and senior leaders in order to award the most accurate and appropriate grade for each individual student based on their ability.
Headteacher, Christian Hicks said on results day: “As with year thirteen earlier this week, year eleven pupils have had to show remarkable resilience during the past eighteen months of uncertainty, and today’s results will hopefully calm some of the anxieties that many have experienced.
“We are confident that the grades awarded today are a true reflection of each student’s hard work and study in each of their subjects over the course of year ten and eleven.
“Our highly experienced and conscientious teaching staff worked incredibly hard to produce these grades in a fair, considered and moderated fashion, and I am confident that today’s results are the fairest and most realistic outcome for this year’s cohort.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank not only our staff, but also all our families for their extraordinary commitment and support of our young people during this unprecedented period.
“Most of all I would like to congratulate year eleven on these fantastic results and thank them for their hard work and good grace throughout this period.
“I am delighted that the majority of our year eleven pupils have the results that they need and are now able to progress to the next stage of their education, and focus on what will be a bright future.”
