This time of year can be stressful for pupils and teachers alike. Exams can be a source of worry and expectation for both parties, so it is important that schools are promoting positivity and wellbeing.
The new GCSE grading system has been another source of anxiety, with many school leaders expressing their concerns. There have also been press reports of pupils “breaking down in class” and “crying in the toilets” in the lead up to this year’s exams.

Below we provide some tips on strategies and resources to help you navigate this period and boost support for pupils.
