The awarding body for the new health and science T Level has committed to a “support delivery plan” for next year after disheartened students said they felt “failed” and “falsely informed” over this summer’s exams following lower-than-expected grades.
But NCFE has ruled out regrading the exams after a petition was launched calling for grade adjustments.
Around 1,600 students across 76 colleges and schools on the two-year health and science T Level – which launched in 2021 – picked up their first-year results last Thursday. It is not clear how many in total reported disappointing grades, but reports have been widespread across the country.
Students who felt the exam did not reflect the content they were taught launched a petition late last week, which has now secured more than 1,000 signatures at the time of publication.
