GCSEs: WJEC's fears for re-grading repeat

An exams body has raised concerns that the situation which led to the re-grading of more than 2,000 English language GCSE papers in Wales last year could arise again.

Following accusations the exams had been marked too harshly, affected pupils secured a higher grade in 2012.

The Welsh government branded the WJEC's comments "silly" and insisted there would not be a repetition.

The High Court ruled against a bid to overturn English GCSE results.
