At least two prominent figures on Twitter (Jack Edwards and Eve Bennett) have suggested that the 35% of students who received one grade lower than they were predicted is a classist issue. Where is the evidence though? Granted, you're more likely to go to Eton if you're a middle-upper class male, but that doesn't mean that your A Level results will be any different to a working class person who went to their local comprehensive. Ibz Mo went to a rubbish college in London which was historically poor in getting results and he was from a single parent family and received free school meals etc. He worked hard. That's all it takes to get good results. He pushed and pushed and pushed and then *boom* he got into Cambridge. I know many middle class people at my school who received worse results than the working class people. Even in my neighbourhood, which is the second most deprived town in the UK, I know people who got into the grammar schools that I didn't.
The A Level results are not a classist issue.
