Executive Director for General Qualifications set to take up a new role with AQA
“Ofqual is today (15 December) announcing that Dr Ian Stockford, Executive Director for General Qualifications, will be leaving the organisation at the end of the year. Dr Stockford will be taking up a new role with AQA in January 2016, ahead of which he will appropriately restrict his work with Ofqual to non-sensitive activities.

We have begun the process of identifying a replacement. In the interim, Julie Swan, Associate Director for Regulatory Policy and Vocational Qualification Policy, will lead many of Ian’s work streams, in particular in relation to GCSE, AS and A level reform.”
