We work closely with stakeholders including schools, colleges, local authorities and awarding bodies.  Key areas of our work include:

  • developing and delivering assessments including national curriculum tests, single level tests and the Early Years Foundation Stage
  • safeguarding the administration of exams in schools and colleges, facilitating good practice within exams offices and offering training and support; working with awarding bodies to streamline the exams system and reduce the administrative burden on schools and colleges
  • providing logistical management and ensuring the secure delivery of exam scripts.

Find out more about QCA's work in developing and modernise the curriculum, assessments, examinations and qualifications. Working with government and other agencies, we lead the reform of education and training programmes that equip learners, teaching professionals and employers with the skills and support they need to meet the demands of the 21st century.
