Rachel Kitley of Cowes Enterprise College says A-level and GCSE grades are as good as previous years despite cancelled exams
Students getting their A-level and GCSE results this week should ignore complaints about grade inflation and instead be proud of their hard work, according to a headteacher who has overseen a remarkable turnaround at a struggling secondary school.
Rachel Kitley, the headteacher of Cowes Enterprise College on the Isle of Wight, said her students had every right to believe their grades this summer were as good as those awarded in previous years, despite the government’s decision to cancel national exams and replace them with teacher assessments.
