Reflecting on the extraordinary arrangements put in place for grading this year, Alex Frazer, Head of Wolverhampton Grammar School added: “We have a fantastically bright cohort in the Upper Sixth and Year 11 this year and if they had had the chance to sit exams, we expected stellar results. In common with many schools and colleges, we made our views on the Ofqual process known to the Secretary of State for Education. I’m delighted that the Government did the right thing and awarded students across the country the grades that they deserve. In what has been an extraordinary year, we believe it is every school’s duty to support their students to attain the grades that their teachers know they are capable of. The move to Centre Assessment Grades has given all schools the opportunity to do just that. I am incredibly proud of our student and staff community at Wolverhampton Grammar School.” best universities including Oxford and Cambridge on highly competitive courses.
