The Education Secretary has announced that most of 2021's summer exams and assessments will take place with a three-week delay. To ensure students can begin the following academic year as normal, results days for GCSE, AS, and A levels will take place across two days in the same week of August; AS and A levels on 24 August and GCSEs on 27 August. 

The Department for Education has also announced a catch-up package of funding worth £1bn, including a ‘Catch-Up Premium’ worth £650m, to help students and provide them with additional support to catch up on their learning.
