2 Providing assessments that are fair, reliable, world class and support students in their educational journey We believe that everyone has the potential to achieve. So we make sure that our qualifications give all students the opportunity to show what they can do and progress to the next stage of their lives. Our qualifications are designed for students of all abilities and are highly valued by employers and universities and taught in more than 40 countries around the world. Today we are the largest provider of academic qualifications taught in schools and colleges. We work with around 40,000 teachers, lecturers, subject experts and academics who helped set and mark our exams. Born out of five leading universities, we have over a century of qualifications expertise. These public exam boards came into existence to provide an opportunity for young people from a range of backgrounds to access education and make the most of their potential. This commitment to social mobility remains at the heart of AQA s charitable purpose, which is to advance education by enabling teachers and students to realise their potential. As an independent education charity, any money we make is reinvested back into our charitable activities and improving what we offer students and schools. These activities include funding cutting-edge assessment research through our Centre for Education Research and Practice (CERP), and our AQA Unlocking Potential programme which helps develop and inspire young people facing challenges in life. exam fees We aim to provide market-leading specifications and first class support services that are excellent value for money. All our fees include a comprehensive support package for teachers, including opportunities for professional development (CPD). Our overall aim is to keep our prices competitive, while taking account of the changes to the exam system which are leading to increased costs. Supporting you through change Education policy reforms mean GCSEs, A-levels and school performance measures have changed. We ve supported teachers through this challenging period, so that the transition to the new qualifications is as smooth as possible, and their focus can remain on students. Find out more about what you need to know for the changes to GCSEs, AS and A-levels. You might also be interested in our resources that explain how exams work. Our family We aim to enable great teaching and learning by investing in our qualifications and a wide range of resources, support and services through our family of companies, Exampro, Testbase and Teachit. To find out more about what we do, visit our website at aqa.org.uk/about-us As a result, we have continued to vary the level of our fees, for example setting higher fees for some subjects with comparatively low entry levels or higher delivery costs. This approach helps us to offer schools and colleges as wide a choice of subjects as possible and secure the future of our qualifications. 2
