Department For Education

Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education, outlines the departments decision on the arrangements for GCSE maths, physics and combined science.

Students taking qualifications in these subjects in 2025, 2026 and 2027 will not need to memorise the usual formulae and equations.

The Secretary of State asks Ofqual to consider continuing arrangements that provide support to students.

Ofqual has replied to the Secretary of State. It has confirmed the decision to consult on the need for exam boards to continue providing formulae and equation sheets, as in previous years.

Ofquals consultation closes on 17 October 2024 at 11.45pm.
