Edexcel are one of many exam boards which offers a broad range of GCSE and GCE subjects. Throughout my school life most of my gcses were with edexcel and all of my A levels were with edexcel.

At the time, they were one of the most difficult organisations I have ever had dealings with. Syllabi were prone to changes at short notice, often with no reasonable notifications sent to teachers. Marking was all over the place too! They were full of excuses - you really have never heard so many from one organisation. I had cause to appeal and complain on three separate occasions and on every one, we were just fobbed off. What they offer is innovative and well thought out, but the delivery and quality ...
