Results Day

It's probably the weirdest results day in history as students are getting their results back despite not having taken any actual exams.

Head Teachers are not impressed as more than a third of A-Level results were lowered by a third.

This could cost some pupils their university place.

Around 3% of entries were downgraded by two grades, while 2% saw final grades increase over predictions.

Exam boards claim analysis to be published later will show no bias on grounds of either ethnicity, gender or socio-economics.

The Sixth Form Colleges Association has called the system for calculating A-level grades, "flawed and unreliable" after almost all colleges said grades were lower or much lower than predicted.

And a third of college principals reported results lower or "dramatically lower" than their historic exam performance.

However despite this there could be the highest proportion of A stars of all time with around one in ten A Levels achieving the highest grade.
