What's the deal about GCSEs?

So I'm just a bit confused about what's going on.

Some people are saying that Exams weren't taking place in May & June and that we didn't have to worry about using predicted grades, and we'd just postpone the GCSEs, and now some other people [including some teachers] are telling me that we WON'T do them. My History teacher sent us all a heartfelt message about how we won't get to show off to the examiners, whilst my biology teacher is telling me to revise Ecology!

So are we, are we not doing our Gcses?

No,it has been confirmed that we won't be doing our GCSE's. All information is on the link. Remember that if you believe that the grade given in not representative of your ability you can still appeal and do another exam, where you can still show off Gcse grading

Is there a chance we will have to do our GCSEs? Like if the COVID situation boils down a bit?
