Exam Results 2021: Advice from Alex Hutchinson Head of James Allen?s Girls? School
Let?s make it as normal as we can, says leading Alex Hutchinson Head of James Allen?s Girls? School, London
Alex Hutchinson, who is head of James Allen?s Girls? School and chair of the GSA education committee, was talking on the latest Girls? Schools Association podcast where she answers questions about what this year?s exam results days will look like, the difference between last year?s CAGs (centre assessed grades) and this year?s TAGs (teacher assessed grades), how students can appeal, and why it?s important to see grade inflation in context. ?Students will receive their results on the morning of exam results day as usual. Yes, it will feel a little bit different because schools will be releasing grades that they already know, but what?s really important is that nationally, locally, within our own schools, we are still celebrating the success of those young people because it?s the result of their hard work, their endeavour, their commitment that we are awarding the grades this year, so I?m very keen that it feels as normal as it possibly can this year. ?Never ever feel that you?re on your own. Just as in any normal year, we will be there in schools to give support and advice and, most importantly, we will be there to celebrate with you after what has been an extraordinary year.?
Alex believes that we should expect grade inflation this year, but that she hopes people will understand why this is and appreciate that schools have assessed each student as fairly as possible.
