Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said it was “likely” that sixth forms and colleges could lower their entry requirements for this year’s cohort of students.
Bill Watkin, chief executive of the Sixth Form Colleges Association , said it was “possible” that some sixth forms and colleges will lower the GCSE grades required for entry compared with last year. Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said: “This cohort has shown tremendous resilience in recent years and should be proud of all the work they’ve done to reach this milestone. Grading is returning to normal which means a pupil who would have achieved a grade 4 before the pandemic is just as likely to achieve that this year.”
