GCSE results day: Pupils receiving highest grades fall but remains above pre-Covid levels | ITV News

The number of pupils who received the highest grades in their GCSE results remained above pre-pandemic levels this year, despite falling slightly compared with 2023.

Hundreds of thousands of school students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland woke up on Thursday to find out whether they received the grades needed to help them progress on to sixth form, college or training.

The teaching in London is much MUCH stricter than in the North. I’ve worked in supply teaching for two years and teacher for 12. The teachers in the North are far more relaxed (which in my opinion is not a bad thing as teachers in London are highly stressed). Somewhere a medium needs to be found. Happy teachers, happy learning.
