Today, Ofqual in collaboration with Teacher Tapp has released new research that brings to light a critical issue in schools and colleges – cyber incidents. Many schools and colleges are not aware of the risks, leaving them vulnerable to cyber incidents. One effective measure to identify and prevent risks is to complete your cyber security training. Not completing this training can have serious consequences for teachers and students, including the loss of coursework, assessment evidence and personal data.

I recently visited Sellafield Ltd and Gen2 where I heard valuable feedback from students and staff on their experiences with End-Point Assessments (EPAs) and apprenticeships. During a tour of the Gen2 facilities, I visited classrooms and a workshop where learning was being delivered with hands-on training. I was impressed by apprentices’ enthusiasm as they shared what inspired them to pursue their chosen career paths, how they found the training and what they learnt from it. In conversations with staff, we discussed the positive aspects and challenges that EPAs present for training providers. It was great to hear that the clear and well-structured EPA standards provide a strong foundation for designing robust curriculum. Thank you very much to Sellafield Ltd and Gen2 for hosting us. I look forward to visiting more training providers, employers and schools to hear directly from apprentices, students, and teachers about the qualifications we regulate. Lakes College

I had the pleasure today of visiting Regent High school to chat with students celebrating their GCSE and vocational and technical qualification results. This is who we work for. It was inspiring to hear about their experiences of school and exams and their aspirations for their next steps. Qualifications help students achieve their full potential and prepare them for the next steps of their career, whether that be an apprenticeship, college or employment. Thank you to Regent High School for kindly hosting me and our Deputy Chief Regulator Michael Hanton and congratulations to all the students who received their results today. #ResultsDay2024
