Truro and Falmouth MP Cherilyn Mackrory responds to student grades U-turn

By Joseph Macey 16th Sep 2021

The MP for Truro and Falmouth has welcomed the news that A-Level, AS Level and GCSE results will now be based on teacher-assessed grades.

The news was announced yesterday that students will receive the higher of their teacher-assessed grade or their moderated grade.

In response Cherilyn Mackrory said:

"I have been contacted by numbers of students from across Truro and Falmouth who were concerned with their grades following results day last week.

"I have fed back both the number and nature of these complaints to Government, along with colleagues, and am pleased to see they have listened and changed the process accordingly.

"As with many things this year, these are unprecedented times with huge decisions we never thought we would have to make, and it is only right that the Government should listen and be able to adapt its processes accordingly.

"I will continue to work with colleagues locally and nationally to get the best outcome for local residents."
