Ark is totally focused on our students & supporting them through what is inevitably a difficult, confusing process, after a very tough last few months.

You can see our message to our Year 13 students here: https://bit.ly/33UMSoG 

We are very proud of all our students. Tomorrow is about them & the next steps they want to take, to university, an apprenticeship or work. To help them, our schools will provide Y13s with their Ofqual calculated grades *and* students will be able to access CAGs and mock results.

We have robust systems for monitoring progress of our young people & are confident in the quality of the assessment data we hold for students. We will use that data to support appeals, where applicable.

This year is unique. There was no perfect system for assessing grades & we welcome the additional guidance from Ofqual on appeals. All must now prioritise support for students towards the next stage of their lives & help them achieve their aspirations
