The Department for Education (DfE) has delayed the implementation of new rules for Technical Awards on Key Stage 4 performance tables.

These new rules will now apply for qualifications on the 2024 Key Stage 4 performance tables (for qualifications being taught from September 2022) rather than the 2023 Key Stage 4 performance tables. All Cambridge Nationals qualifications that are approved for the 2022 performance tables will be carried forward onto the 2023 tables.

This delay means you can continue to offer and teach Cambridge Nationals with no changes to the specification.

You can read more about the new rules on our policy news page.

See our performance tables page for more information.
