Producing spoken language statements to support pupils entering GCSEs
2021-01-13 13:30 - 14:30 | Online
Initial meeting for NRCSE subscribers
Although it isn’t yet clear what the process will be for producing learner assessments this year we are determined that private/supplementary school candidates will have opportunities to submit evidence of achievement. The webinar on 13/1/21 will be an opportunity to influence Ofqual through the current consultation.
Schools/Colleges and other examination centres have been asked by Ofqual to obtain spoken language statements for private entrants or their own entrants for languages they do not teach.
This webinar will support community/supplementary school teachers to provide the spoken language statement and will provide guidance on how mainstream schools must work with supplementary schools to enable them to provide the exam boards with a spoken language endorsement level and provide every oportunity to enable home/heritage language learners to receive accreditation of their achievement.
The endorsement level can be provided by a supplementary school or community school, by a private tutor or by a speaker of the language who is not a relative or friend of the student who will act as Assessor.
Does the school/college need to arrange to get an endorsement for any private candidates and any of its own students being entered in a language for which it has no teacher?
Yes. It is the responsibility of the school/college to liaise with the supplementary/community school or private tutor or find a speaker of the language who is not a relative or friend of the student. Ofqual has stated that awarding organisations must require each centre to provide them with a, ‘spoken language statement’, confirming that it has taken reasonable steps to ensure there is an opportunity for an assessment of spoken language for every learner.

Information Session: Entering Arabic language learners for GCSEs
2021-02-17 16:00 - 17:00 | Online
The best place for young people to take their exams is in their mainstream school, however, with the cancellation of exams in 2020 and 2021, this has not been possible for many learners.

With the support of Pearson Edexcel, the Turkish Language, Culture and Education Consortium, the British Council Arabic Language and Culture Programme in partnership with Qatar Foundation International, NRCSE has been approved as an examination centre for the Summer 2021 series. We have done this to ensure that every child attending a supplementary school that has an NRCSE Quality Mark and/or where we can be sure that teachers are appropriately trained and students work is being set and marked under appropriate conditions, has the opportunity to achieve a grade this year. At the moment we are targeting students preparing Turkish and Arabic and referring students to language specific examination centres for other languages.
We are holding an information session for Arabic teachers who have been teaching students to the Pearson Edexcel specification and have students in Yrs 10 and above ready for assessment for GCSE or A level. The session will explain exam entry conditions and fees. We are not able to confirm the exact way that private candidates will be receiving their grades until Ofqual publish the outcomes of the public consultation on 22/2/21.
