The summer holidays might be just around the corner, but students who sat their GCSEs this year will be facing an anxious wait for their results. Schools have faced a challenging few years with learning disrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Last year's exams didn't take place and instead results were evidence-based and determined by teachers. Educators submitted grades for the more than half a million pupils on GCSE courses in 2021, using evidence such as mock exams, course work and tests, reports the BBC.
It will be the first time in two years that students have sat their GCSE exams. A package of support was put in place by regulator Ofqual to make sure they "are being as fair as possible to students given the disruption they have experienced, and many continue to face, due to the coronavirus pandemic."
