We're announcing measures to help students who are sitting GCSE, AS and A level exams in England next summer.
They'll reduce the impact of the disruption to their learning due to the pandemic, and make assessments as fair as possible.

Pupils at Grove House Primary School in Bradford are now feeling more confident in class and enjoy reading more after receiving free glasses through our Glasses in Classes scheme.
We’re extending it to help even more children in some of the most deprived areas across England.
