Record regrades: Are exams being marked properly?

More than 90,000 GCSE and A-level results were changed after challenges to grades awarded this summer - the highest on record.

The figures represent an increase of 17% compared with last year.

Results have a significant impact on both students and institutions, affecting whether or not pupils gain a university place and where schools appear in league tables.

Sam Wright, who had her English AS Level remarked from U to C this year, Steve Taylor, chief executive of the Cabot Learning Federation and Martin Lavelle, headteacher of Southgate School in Enfield joined Joanna to discuss the grading of exams in England.
