The Gov were on a hiding to nothing either way.

It was always just best to just let this year go, let the teachers give out the candy bars and focus on getting everything sorted for the next academic year.

None of what happened was anybody's fault. The kids didn't ask not to take exams and the Gov had no choice but to suspend exams.

Any method to "equalise" results would have resulted in shouts of unfairness, so they should have steered well clear of it.

Political naivety really.
