Around one in five teachers at schools with affluent intakes say parents have pressured them over their child’s exam grades this year, a survey suggests. Nearly one in four (23%) of teachers at private schools and 17% at state schools in advantaged areas have been approached or pressured by parents over grades, according to a Sutton Trust report. Just over one in ten (11%) of state school teachers in poorer areas reported being put under pressure, the poll has found. Teachers in England have submitted their decisions on pupils’ GCSE and A-level grades – which are being awarded in a fortnight – after this summer’s exams were cancelled for the second year in a row.
