Shame he and his Union paymasters kept the schools closed, otherwise pupils could have sat their exams. Against all medical advice, they still want to keep them closed in September.

So overgrade then and provide undeserved higher marks? How very Labour. Keir_Starmer

Why aren’t you talking about the Private Candidates, which includes home schooled children, who won’t have any GCSEs or A levels at the end of this farce? My son worked for many years as a home schooled child and won’t have any GCSEs because the gov IGNORED them !!

The spurious algorithm was only applied to kids in larger class sizes. Those in smaller classes escaped the bonkers downgrades. Favours private schools over state colleges. Means results within England can't be trusted.

He's the best second-rate Tory PM we have and is generously giving us the choice between red or blue neoliberalism! Some people are never happy!

the british monarchy works with jesters ..Awh when they can't get one ..the pm be careful

What were the scores for Latin this year?

this disenfranchaised future generation will grow up to look after today's decision makers in the future so I'd say treat them well or their actions now will turn around & bite them on the bum when they're old and decrepid

Bright pupils risk being penalised by A-level results system, Gavin Williamson admitsEducation Secretary Gavin Williamson has admitted high performing pupils risk being penalised by this year’s A-level system as fears grow of chaos as students receive their results. Critics have All pupils at risk of being penalised by a tory government more interested in lining the pockets of its donors than in ensuring the well-being of the country. What would Gavin Williamson know about bright pupils? The likes of Gavin Williamson and Chris Grayling are proof of failing upwards... If I had to work with any of these Tories in a factory, I'd be worried they didn't have the minimum skills required to survive the day. He wouldn’t know a bright pupil if he met one.....
