This afternoon examination regulators in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, announced that students who received A level or Welsh Bacc grades on 13 August 2020 that were lower than the ones predicted by their teachers, will now receive their Centre Assessed Grades.

If on 13 August you were not placed at your firm or insurance choice university or college, you should first speak with your parents/guardians and teachers to decide if you wish to take up your place at your first choice university or college.

Universities & colleges will need to have received your ‘Centre Assessed Grades’ before they can make a decision on your application. We are working with the awarding bodies to receive revised grades as quickly as possible to pass them on your chosen universities & colleges.

Any decision made will be made by the individual university or college, not UCAS.

As always, we are working to do everything we can to support you. We will be in touch tomorrow with an update on the situation, and to explain any next steps.
