In response to the problems of A level results last week, NATRE along with many others called on the government to act to ensure that students did not unfairly miss out on their chosen future pathways.
NATRE was disappointed to hear of so many instances of students missing their university places because of the way A level results were awarded. Too many teachers have reported too many examples of results that have been significantly downgraded to the detriment of students’ options for the future.
The number of Religious Studies A-level exam entries has declined at a lower rate than other humanities in 2020, performing better than some subjects despite a backdrop of overall declining entries and changes to the examination system.
NATRE responded last month, to the Ofqual consultation on examinations in 2021. You can read our comments in this news piece. Ofqual released their decisions on 3rd August regarding the cohort of students who will be taking their GCSE’s, AS or A levels in 2021.
NATRE was pleased to see that Nick Gibb MP, Minister for schools, has given a clear and fulsome answer to a question from Luke Pollard MP regarding schools and RE.
NATRE have sent in a consultation response but encourage teachers in Wales and in other nations to send in their own response.
NATRE has been involved in meetings with Ofqual throughout the ongoing Covid-19 period, representing the concerns of teachers of RE as decisions have been made about exams in 2020 and 2021.
We are delighted to announce that the following people have been elected to serve on the NATRE executive committee.
