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

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. pic.twitter.com/HN23JA5ByW

More interesting than Tory MPs deleting Tweets criticising the Scottish government now England's A levels fiasco is so obvious, is that the Tweets are all the same - MPs revealing themselves as political robots marching in lock-step towards Blundering Boris's next catastrophe
The amount of Tory MPs that are now deleting tweets criticising the Scottish governments handling of last weeks higher results is something to behold. pic.twitter.com/um7VURvDyE
And now to explain to us how the system is fair, the twentieth prime minister who went to Eton.
PM Boris Johnson insists the grading system this year amid the #coronavirus pandemic is "robust", but adds that "obviously it was always going to be difficult without formal exams".

Earlier I i/ved Mithushan He'd be the 1st in his school to go to Oxbridge (@CaiusCollege, medicine). Perfect GCSEs. State school. Predicted 4A*. Result: 1A* 3A. He's now been told he's been unsuccessful in his application. His story embodies something important about today.@lewis_goodall

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
#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.

She was downgraded because of her school, not her abilty shown in mocks and coursework I'll bet others in her school have been given identical grades This is 100% political #AlevelResults

Writer and Teacher. Agent Zoe Waldie RCW. I mostly use this account for my students’ poems. People like to scroll through, so I don’t retweet much.

Thanks a Philip! She is going to take an extra year in sixth form I believe. She really is very able but has always struggled to believe it.
As a lot of people are here can I suggest following @SamuelWright78 @SocialMobilityF on this issue.
Fingers crossed for Halema today. She left Afghanistan when she was 10: now she's hoping for the right results to train as a nurse. pic.twitter.com/oIjyX2frgo

13) It is also critical that schools, especially in more disadvantaged areas, are given a batch of free appeals. It is disgraceful that they are being asked to pay for them in the circumstances. That should Williamson's first announcement tomorrow morning.
I know many young adults from state schools who worked so hard for 2 years are disappointed today.
I can reassure you that the grades you received today will not disadvantage you in attaining the types of jobs that this government will create in the post Covid economy.

Private schools received greatest increase in grades; schools in disadvantaged areas received greatest decrease. Anyone surprised?

EVERYONE who voted conservative in GE19 owns every successive catastrophe this government creates.
No « oh but I didn’t like Corbyn ».
No « I could never trust the LibDems again ».
There is NO excuse for voting Tory.

Herd immunity means 1 million dead Americans. That's what it would take to get to herd immunity. That's not a plan—that's a catastrophe.
