What does the future of qualifications look like?
Our flagship report draws on the views of over 6,000 students, teachers, employers and experts to shape recommendations on how we shape the future of qualifications and assessment in England for 14–19-year-olds.
Exploring onscreen assessment
We’re drawing on our experience of delivering onscreen assessments in more than 115 countries to shape what’s next for GCSE, International GCSE and A level exams.
As well as already offering onscreen exams in selected subjects, we're working alongside the education community to harness technology where it can positively impact schools' and students' assessment experiences.

The Future of Design Education
Over the past few months, we have been working with educators and organisations to drive forward fundamental change to design education in schools.
Starting with an ambitous call to action for the future of design education, we have since collaborated with teachers, industry partners and organisations to evolve our thinking, and have recently shared our vision for a curriculum focused towards Responsible Design and Innovation.
BTEC's are evolving
We are pleased to announce that funding has been approved for the New BTEC Level 3 qualifications that we submitted in July 2023 as part of the Post-16 Level 3 vocational qualification reform.
The 12 new qualifications are across Science, ICT and Computing, Construction, Early Years, Health and Social Care and Engineering and will be available for first teach in September 2025. If there is a pause to the reforms, the current BTEC Nationals will be available until 2026 to support any changes to funding decisions.
Stay up to date
These events have been arranged to formally launch the NEW BTEC Level 3 Nationals and Technicals qualifications which have been approved for funding for first teach September 2025.
They will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions, hear from other centres and for us to give you an overview of the qualification, how transferable, digital and sustainability skills are built in, how they sit alongside A levels and much more.

Multi-Academy Trusts
Supporting transformation and improvement across your trust
Every trust has a unique set of needs. That’s why we’ll work with you to create the best package of teaching, learning and training solutions for your schools, teachers and learners.
Leading the way in diversity
We’re proud to be leading the way in diversifying the English curriculum.
A truly diverse curriculum is about more than just the texts on a specification. Which is why, for the past three years, we’ve been working with schools, publishers, and academics to make a real difference.
Our work in classrooms and education communities across the country is underpinned by three core beliefs. These beliefs lay the foundations for not only what we have already done in supporting schools with successfully diversifying the curriculum, but what we’ll continue to do.

Highlights of the week ending 5 August
Over the past fortnight, with Parliament still in recess, the education policy landscape has been dominated by the publication of reports and research papers, as well as the ongoing leadership campaigns of Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss. Both have set out some thoughts on education policy, outside of the inevitable conversation around grammar schools.

Highlights of the week ending 22 July
In a relatively quiet week for education policy as activity winds down for recess, the Petitions Committee held a debate on BTEC qualifications after the Protect Student Choice campaign’s petition received more than 108,000 signatures. The debate featured arguments in favour of BTECs and applied general qualifications from MPs across the political spectrum. It will be interesting to see whether the new Prime Minister and their team of ministers will consider the weight of public and political support for choice at age 16.
