Annual Review 2007


Chair's foreword – Sue Rogers

Welcome to our Annual Review 2007. Here you will find information about our educational work, our technical developments and how we ensure that we stay in close touch with the current and future needs of learners and their teachers in schools and colleges. All our work is closely informed by their views.

  Sue Rogers

AQA is a self-governing educational charity with no shareholders or parent organisation requiring a financial return. So, all our income is spent entirely on operating and developing our qualifications and services for the benefit of young people and other learners. As a charity, our sole purpose is to improve education in two main ways: by providing qualifications of the very highest quality, based upon specifications which are motivating and promote coherent learning; and by providing services to teachers, schools and colleges that support them.

Committed to improving education

Everyone involved in AQA is fully committed to this purpose. We know that our work affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people every year and are very proud of the consistently high levels of service that we provide.

Informing educational policy

As the largest A-level and GCSE awarding body, we also play a significant role in providing technical and educational advice to inform national policy developments. Our Research work is known internationally for its quality and is one of the things which helps us achieve our aim of being a positive force in the educational world.

I hope you find this Review interesting. It is only a snapshot of our work.
