There will be many anxious teenagers waking up in Islington this morning, with their GCSE grades just an envelope away.
As all summer exams were cancelled in the Covid-19 pandemic, Islington pupils will be awarded marks based on
teachers’ predictions.
This comes after A Level results last week were heavily criticised because the government and Ofqual’s grading algorithm took into account a school’s historic results.
It saw about 40 per cent of pupils downgraded.
On Monday (August 17), the government U-turned and overturned that policy.
