Grades of 7 and above down three percentage points as first pupils to sit exams since before Covid receive results.

They predicted Thursday’s results would show 24.4% of pupils in the north-east of England achieving GSCE grade seven or above, compared with 37.8% in London. Noting the serious disruption that students faced during the Covid pandemic, this year’s grade boundaries will be more generous, exam boards have said. I wasn’t an education minister at the time, I was at the Department for Work and Pensions, but I remember what that time was like. Did you or a family member get the grades they wanted? Likewise, in English, a fail rate of 22.2% was over two percentage points higher than the last two years but down on 2019’s level of 28.5%. Were mistakes made throughout the course of the pandemic? The government and Ofqual will now need to decide whether to put mitigations in place for next year. The pandemic has without question set us back on that mission. At A-level, results awarded in England, Wales and Northern Ireland revealed top grades down by 8.4 percentage points on last year’s record results, while A*s alone decreased by 4.5 points. This is particularly important given the likelihood of more waves of infections during the autumn and winter. As they consider study in the future, the most competitive routes such as future university entry or degree and wider apprenticeships have young people competing from across the UK.
