GCSE results: what next?

Available for over a year

GCSE results in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have fallen for a second year running. 68.2% of all grades were at grade 4 or above, equivalent to an old C. It brings results close to where they were in 2019 - the last year that exams were sat before covid. Exam were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 with results based on teachers’ assessments instead.
