The number of pupils appealing their exam results rose sharply last summer after changes were made to how grades could be awarded due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
New data released by national exam regulator Ofqual shows students across England lodged 16,000 appeals against GCSE, AS and A level grades in summer 2021, four time the appeals received in the previous year.
In 2021, students received their grades based on teacher assessment rather than exam results for the second year in a row due to the disruption to learning caused by Covid-19.
