## Resource

GCSE and A-level reform properly started moving this summer. In this episode, I'm giving you the download from the AQA Science Conference 2026. What's confirmed, what's still proposed, and what actually lands in your classroom- and when. Consider this Part 1: there's more to come as the details firm up. You'll learn: The full reform timeline, phase by phase — from 2026 consultation through to the first new A-level exams in 2034 What's actually changing in your classroom this year (spoiler: nothing yet) The assessment changes landing much sooner — formulae sheets, "show your working," and compensatory marks What's being proposed for Progress 8 and Attainment 8 What AQA is reviewing on required practicals — and why it isn't a return to NEA
