GCSE and A Level Results initial analysis and statement, I have deferred writing this until today as it appeared that as each day passes, there is yet another significant shift in just how these grades are calculated and awarded to students nationally. I want to start by congratulating students who have picked up their GCSE grades this morning.

They were awarded in the...
GCSE Results drop nationally as students return to examinations for the first time since 2019., This year’s GCSE results were released this morning, and as expected, the number of students achieving the highest grades reduced across the board as the government and the exam regulator Ofqual seek to return grading to post-pandemic levels.
