Students taking their GCSEs over the past few years have faced a lot of changes. This summer was the first that teenagers sat exams for 24 months, due to disruption from the Coronavirus pandemic.
Regulators Ofqual said that GCSE results this summer will 'reflect a midpoint between summer 2019 and 2021'. They added that grades 'will be higher than when summer exams were last sat, but lower than in 2021, when grades were awarded by teacher assessment'.
"Schools’ and colleges’ results are highly likely to be lower than in 2021 when exams did not go ahead. Very few schools or colleges, if any, will get higher results than in 2021," Ofqual said.
