For hundreds of thousands of students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, exam season begins this week.
GCSE exams are starting in England and Wales, with students in England receiving extra help in Maths and Science in line with the disruption they experienced during the Covid lockdowns.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan announced last year that students in England would be given formulas and equation sheets for the last time this year in maths, physics and combined science, with normal arrangements for exams in 2025.
She said: “Young people taking GCSEs next year will be the last to experience two years of national lockdowns during secondary school and it is right that we recognize this with some additional support.”
