‘Old-fashioned’ GCSEs should be reformed in post-Covid years, says leading head Updated: 12/02/2021, 5:37 pm Jane Prescott called for a rethink on GCSEs (Portsmouth High School GDST/PA) Ministers should reform “old-fashioned” GCSEs in the long term, a leading headteacher has suggested. It would be “timely” for the Government to consider changing the national assessments at age 16 and look at their future relevance, according to Jane Prescott, headmistress of Portsmouth High School.
