It was an emotional morning
Nervousness gave way to relief at schools across Greater Manchester this morning as teenagers collected their GCSE results.The students faced a grade ‘re-set’ with marking, as exams regulator Ofqual said this year’s GCSE results would be lower than last year when teachers graded their work. Despite the challenge of getting top marks, many Mancunian students rose to it - and were justly rewarded.
“It’s all thanks to and she’s really helped me,” added Luke. “I couldn’t have done it without her. I’ll be doing business, Spanish and maybe sociology at Xaverian College now I’ve got the results I needed.” “Online school was crazy with being dyslexic. You're used to writing everything to your teachers and then they noticed there was a barrier. Dictating over a video call was really hard and I think it’s important for schools to learn about making online sessions and school accessible for everyone.”
Another clever clogs was Gray Walsh-Gleeson, who scored 9s in drama, biology, chemistry, food tech; and 8s in physics, English literature, history and maths. She said: “I’m honestly really happy with my results, I didn’t expect to get 9s in the subjects that I did. Jessica added: “We missed out on a lot of schooling and we’re treated like we didn’t so it was stressful to know we were being marked without that into consideration. It wasn’t really fair but I don’t think the marking was too harsh.”
Across the country, the proportion of GCSE entries awarded top grades fell from last year but is higher than before the pandemic, figures showed. More than a fifth of UK GCSE entries were awarded the top grades – at least a 7 or an A grade – this year, down by 4.3 percentage points on last year when 26.3 percent of entries achieved the top grades.
