My son has just started Year 11 after an unexpectedly bad GCSE English mark - like many other pupils. There's lots on the BBC news websites and The Guardian has run an article too about the unfairness of the marking situation - which basically accuses Ofqual of unfairly "moving the goalposts halfway through the year". Basically what the Government are saying is that it is Ofqual's fault and they can't get involved. But there are whispers about an independent enquiry. So if you have a son or daughter who has been affected by this then you might feel like writing to Tessa Jowell which is what I've done. Karen
