After three years of turbulent schooling thanks to the pandemic, thousands of children will tentatively open up their GCSE results today, hoping for good news. Experts have warned that more pupils are set to fail their GCSES this year as grades return to pre-pandemic levels. Owing to Covid restrictions, students have been unable to sit their exams for the last two years and were instead awarded grades by their teachers that were deemed more generous than normal exam results.
This year pupils did sit their exams traditionally, and many will be grappling with the pre-results nerves that many of us will remember all too well. One business mogul is hoping to change the narrative around failed grades this results day, as his inspiring journey proves that one setback doesn’t have to determine the trajectory of your life.
