Teacher: 'This is the year I've seen the most tears, it鈥檚 the year I've seen the most panic'.
The summer public exam season is back after two years of disruption and cancellation.
Throughout the pandemic 鈥楾oday鈥� followed Wales High School near Rotherham, as they struggled with remote learning, Covid absences and teacher assessed grades. As students there prepare to take the first public exams for two years, Mishal Husain went back to the school to meet with headteacher Pepe Di'Lasio. This summer will be the first exam experience for 17 and 18-year-olds as their GCSEs and National 5s were affected in 2020. Grades are being awarded in the usual way using external marking but the grade boundaries will be more lenient. Mishal also spoke to Ian Bauckham the Chair of Ofqual, England's exam regulator.
