You couldn't make it up...oh wait... they are making it up as they are going along... As with everything else!!!!!

Mocks are taken months before so most expect a better grade in their real exams. This ‘solution’ means either teacher assessments have been so downgraded that mock results are likely to be better or that they want to give appearance of fairness whilst not really fixing anything.

My son, like most of his mates didn’t get great results at mock’s but like he did at GCSE’s woke him up to how much work was needed. He had the grades predicted for the Uni he wants to go to but now, who knows? Shambolic! Still going to call Uni if he doesn’t get grades needed.

Under fire by the left-wing, who are rarely constructive, collaborative or useful to anyone. They are the worst backseat drivers alive.

I know a lot of the current administration don’t live in the real world, but surely they realise that mock results are there to be improved on. Maybe that’s different at Eton and Oxford, but it is the reality in most schools.

You cannot just keep changing the goal posts on everything. How to gaslight a nation.

Simultaneously unfair, ineffective and an obvious sign of panic. World-beating!
