Join the

TES team as we discuss this week’s GCSE results, which suffered the biggest

ever fall in A8 to C grades since the assessments were introduced in 1988. We discuss the

reasons behind the drop, we talk the further decline of languages, the effects

of Progress 8 and why girls are pulling even further ahead than boys. We

also take a look at a striking piece in this week’s magazine about a US teacher

and her class who was faced with a student wielding a loaded gun. Tune in and

enjoy.
