2026 was the first year that the new Health and Movement Science syllabus was examined and is the last to examine the outgoing English and Mathematics syllabuses, as new knowledge-rich syllabuses come online.
Marking is well underway, with over 5,500 markers assessing responses for more than 1.2 million papers.
