Bromcom KS4 Performance Measures Update – 19/08/2025Arbor Statement of Results Report – 13/08/2025 @ 08:30

Arbor are currently aware of issues with component results not importing at the moment. Their engineers are investigating this as a priority right now. We will update this post when we receive further information.

Change for Bromcom Assessment templates

To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of exam results ahead of the A-Level/GCSE results day, Bromcom have made a temporary change to Assessment marksheets. From Friday 8th August until the evening of Thursday 22nd August, any Formula columns that are based on the formula type of “exam results” will be temporarily hidden from marksheets. This precaution is being taken to prevent any exam results from being visible before their official release to students. These columns will be made visible again on the evening of the 22nd August. This information can be downloaded from the KS5 dashboard, however. You first need to go into settings and add UPN or other fields as desired to the “additional menu options”, then once these are done, you can select these columns in the section below to add them into the broadsheet view.Bromcom A2C

Bromcom have issued an A2C update in readiness for results day. To read this update please see A2C Exams Update
