A Level results downgraded - fear worse for GCSE :(

A Level results downgraded today... I think this is another fine mess courtesy of the clowns currently in office in UK. I really don't think things will be in order for next year either. Total shambles. Again. And I'm guessing it'll be worse for GCSE figures in a week.

I've blocked anyone under 18, but anyone have family members or friends affected?

My daughter works at a university she was inundated on the clearing helpline but actually her uni closed all health courses before lunchtime. Sounds like more than normal will get places.

Having said that the government handling of it is like a, series of The Thick of It.

Isn’t that just in Scotland though? NI Wales and England are all keeping the same system.

@Katabasis Scotland's results all came out last week. A Level for Wales and England today; GCSEs week today. Not sure about NI.

@PhilDeep oh dear. Oh well here we go.

@Katabasis essentially a similar model has been applied. If you go to a high performing school, esp private, independent and grammar your grade is unlikely to be downgraded if you attend a poor performing comprehensive then it likely will be.

It's simply a model they've used they didn't review any work just applied an unfair model that disproportionately disadvantages the disadvantaged again.

Thank fuck we transitioned to MYP last year before all this shit happened

@DrScissorhands Sounds like you're happy with your decision but I don't think I'm familiar with MYP?

IGCSE results were mostly as predicted
