How far should schools go? Revision sessions, intervention sessions, exam season

Episode 3071 Published 2 months ago
Description

A school letter has sparked controversy after making extra GCSE revision including weekends compulsory, with consequences for absence. But where is the line between high expectations and excessive pressure? In tonight’s Points of View, we ask: Should schools be able to mandate extra sessions? Do strict systems raise standards or risk burnout? And who decides what’s “too far” when exams are on the line? Join the debate as we explore how far schools should go in the name of results.

 

Featuring JP, Tom Rogers, Tony Harwood and Michael Wright.
