As the Minister for Education has agreed that the Summary of Annual Examination Results (SAER) process should be suspended in line with approaches taken in England and Wales, there will be no SAER statistical bulletin for the 2019/20 academic year, which was scheduled to be published in December 2020.
School level examination data for 2019/20 are not being collected for accountability or inspection purposes and no examination data will be released at school level for this year. Other processes affected include the annual provision of Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 benchmarking data to schools to inform target setting.
