@tes@Tom_Middlehurst@ASCL_UK No they weren’t but who’s to blame @Tom_Middlehurst that they’re seen as fail- Teachers do their best, senior leaders work tirelessly to advocate for their schools, and heads face even greater pressures to manage and suffer from anxiety looking at the league tables 😥???
Wishing a very best of luck to all GCSE students across the country- but a special shout-out to my amazing @McrAcademy students! No matter the results on Thurs, remember that we are incredibly proud of each of you. Let’s celebrate your hard work and achievements on Thursday!
Why do grade boundaries change?
Because exam papers are different each year, it’s impossible to know how difficult students will find a paper until it’s taken.
Easier paper = higher grade boundaries.
Harder paper = lower grade boundaries.
