Lib Dems say 25,000 GCSE pupils and 66,000 A-level students could miss out on top grades compared with last year
Exam boards have published advance information about some of the content due to come up in GCSEs and A-levels this summer, amid warnings that tens of thousands of pupils could lose out on top grades compared with last year’s results.
This summer is a transition year when examiners will be asked to be more generous when setting grade boundaries to provide a safety net for students who might otherwise just miss out on a higher grade, but there will be significantly fewer top grades when results are published in August.
