We’ve just launched our highly anticipated 2024 Pearson School Report, which brings together over 12,000+ teacher, student and sector voices on education – the challenges, solutions in action, and opportunities for the future.
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.
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.
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.
On the 12 December 2024, the DfE published the outcome of their review of post-16 qualification reform.
The aim of the review was to determine which qualifications will be funded for 16-19 learners in England for the 2025/26 academic year.
These sessions are for centres in England and will focus on the impact of Government reforms on post 16 qualifications and funding.
Attendees will hear our latest updates in response to Government's announcement (scheduled for December) after the pause and review and have the opportunity to ask questions.
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.
The new, 2024 Pearson Edexcel GCSE French, German and Spanish Qualifications are here! Our qualifications focus on building communication confidence and cultural understanding from a foundation of strong vocabulary knowledge to broaden students’ perspectives and opportunities.

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.

For the first time ever, more than 100,000 students are collecting A level Maths results in this summer’s exams.
At Pearson, we’ve closely followed the rise in the popularity of maths over the last decade as the exam board that’s proud to support the largest number of schools and students with this subject.
But what does such a significant 12.9% year-on-year rise in entries tell us?

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.
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.
As the Conservative Party leadership contest continues, this week saw confirmation of the Department for Education’s new ministerial team has now been confirmed. Supporting James Cleverly is Brendan Clarke-Smith as Minister for Children and Families, Will Quince as Minister for School Standards, Andrea Jenkyns as Minister for Skills, Further and Higher Education, and Baroness Barran as Lords Minister/Minister for the School System.
Like all ministers appointed over the past week, the team is working in a caretaker capacity in order to keep Government business functioning during this interim period. A new administration is due to be formed with the announcement of the new Prime Minister in early September.
