The Government announced late on Tuesday that students in England will have the ‘safety net’ of being able to use mock exam results as the basis for an appeal if they are higher than the calculated grade.

But the education secretary has ruled out a U-turn on results like that in Scotland, where the decision to downgrade more than 124,000 results was overturned following an outcry.

School and university leaders have demanded clarity from ministers on how the appeals process in England will work and whether it will be completed in time for universities opening in the autumn.
