And just like that the lead story became French quarantine instead of unfair exam fiasco
If you're a young person of modest means who works hard and wants an even chance out of life, then today's results are a reminder of why it's a good idea to pay close attention to politics, and to always use your vote. This stuff affects you directly. Be angry with purpose. x
#AlevelResults Predicted A*A*A*. Expcetionally low performing school. No one had ever achieved a Cambridge offer before in my sixth form. Performed at A*A*A consistently. Today, A*AB. Dropped two grades in Sociology. Denied Cambridge place. This is what has happened to me.

R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem.@KateClanchy1![]()

“I wanted to make everyone that believed in me proud… I knew I could get those grades if I actually did the exams.” Mithushan Thiagarajah had an offer to read medicine at Cambridge and was predicted 4 A*s. Today he was downgraded and the offer has been withdrawn. #Newsnight@BBCNewsnight

We’re looking for students affected by A-Levels fiasco
If you (or your child) have lost a uni offer due to downgrading, or if you didn’t plan to go to uni but your career prospects have been harmed, pls get in touch with gemma@goodlawproject.org
If you (or your child) have lost a uni offer due to downgrading, or if you didn’t plan to go to uni but your career prospects have been harmed, pls get in touch with gemma@goodlawproject.org
Time is running out. We need action in days, not weeks. That also means an urgent technical review of the standardisation model ahead of GCSE results next week. We need to end this fiasco.
Brilliant to spend the day in Darlington today meeting students, teachers and people from across the town.

If you haven’t got the grades you needed today it’s disappointing, stressful and maybe unfair. I didn’t get the grades I needed. I re-applied at 23 and Manchester let me in. I know all Universities will try to help you, but if it doesn’t work out there will be other chances.
It is unbelievably unfair, many won’t retake 3 A’levels in October without family support - it’s an unnecessary trauma. What message does this send about valuing hard work? So please could you reply personally to my daughter @GavinWilliamson and explain results? @educationgovuk

If Michael Gove had not scrapped modular A Levels against the advice of teaching pros, everyone receiving their A Level results today would have their grades based largely on their accumulated assessments. The finger of accusation should be pointed firmly at him. #AlevelResults
Upsetting to see what young people are going through from today’s #AlevelResults debacle. What is worth pointing, A-level students are the new generation of voters too
🗣"There are actual real people here who are opening these envelopes and this determines their future."
One A-level student from Somerset has spoken to ITV News about her frustrations with this year's grading system.

After spending a few months pretending to care about disadvantaged pupils while running a smear campaign against my colleagues in NEU, now they can't find any space on the front page when disadvantaged pupils are disproportionately impacted, did they ever really care?
oh you know, just the biggest education scandal in a generation, might as well put another spurious story about Megan and Harry on the front page 🤦🏾♀️ pic.twitter.com/ApWwuYw53w
This is so unbelievably cruel. Why should where you live and the school you go to determine your grade ? The casual snobbery and elitism towards pupils and there teachers makes me so angry. Why is the government so relaxed about damaging their futures? Fix it @GavinWilliamson
