GCSEs - Our approach

 

By working in partnership with teachers and students, we know that one solution does not fit all subjects. Instead, each subject has its own different requirements that are reflected in our new specifications.

Our new GCSEs:

  • enable students to realise their full potential
  • have content that is engaging for students
  • are manageable for schools and colleges
  • are accessible to students of all levels of ability
  • lead to accurate results, delivered on time
  • are affordable and value for money.

In addition, we provide teachers with more personalised support than other awarding bodies.

We are driven by the needs of schools, teachers and students and not by technological innovation. Where technology has been thoroughly tested and shown to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the exam process, we use it – but we won't ever put the delivery of your qualifications at risk in order to be at the forefront of change.

AQA is an educational charity focused on the needs of the learner. We have no shareholders to pay. All our income goes towards operating and improving the quality of our specifications, examinations and support services.

We don't aim to profit from education – we want you to.
