A major change to Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility is on the way with a critical deadline approaching. Are you ready? All FSM verification checks need to be completed before submitting your October School Census. If eligible pupils are not verified and recorded in your system in time, they will not be counted, which will directly impact your school's funding allocations for 2027-28.

David Blow and Duncan Baldwin are national authorities on performance data. This free webinar will enable school leaders, data managers and exams officers to get insights at an early stage into the this year's results, which for the first time will include the new GCSEs in Modern Languages. The webinar will look at the national data from Summer 2026 compared with previous years so that you can place your own results in context. They will discuss reasonable positions for schools to take when reporting on their performance, given that this is the second year of no progress measure at key stage 4, and offer advice on how to use the results internally. They will also explore A Level, including Level 3 VA.
