Detail

This consultation is about the rules and guidance we plan to put in place for new GCSEs in drama, and new AS and A levels in drama and theatre. These rules will apply to the exam boards that want to offer new drama GCSEs and new drama and theatre AS and A levels from September 2016.

This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation ‘Developing new GCSE, A level and AS qualifications for first teaching in 2016 - Part 2’, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
