Especially those connected with schools in our more disadvantaged communities. They are wondering "will our process be equally classbound?
Equally unfair to our students from more disadvantaged backgrounds?". After an outcry across the UK over calculated grade results that seemed to favour students from affluent backgrounds over those from deprived areas, Scotland was the first to announce a reversal, then England and Northern Ireland suddenly yesterday evening followed suit.
