In this episode, we speak to Amit Hathi - Headteacher of Wembley High Technology College, London.
In the wake of the pandemic, school closures and the cancellation of exams, teachers are being asked to provide centred assessed grades for their students. Grades which they believe their students would have been most likely to get in the summer if they had taken the exams. But doing this fairly and consistently is not without its challenges.
Amit explains the three step approach they are taking at WHTC and the methodology they have designed to rank students.
