It's not been widely reported in the media but Ofqual have made decisions about how they are going to determine A level marks which could affect your child's chances of getting their university place.
They're going to implement a "statistical standardisation model/process" which will have your child's grades adjusted based on the historical performance at their school - so if your child had good predicted grades and expected to do well, but comes from a school that's hasn't performed very well in the last 3 years at A level, you and your child could be in for a shock come results date 13 August. Ofqual will take the marks their school/college has submitted and potentially adjust them downwards, just because no students have done very well in past years.
Does that sound fair to you?
To add insult to injury, your child won't be able to appeal their awarded grades either. So let's hope their university are understanding when they don't meet their required grades. I've already heard of situations where the uni has stated that if the required grades aren't met then the place won't be available, even though the student was a straight A* student but just unfortunately goes to a mediocre school and is therefore likely to have their grades adjusted downwards through no fault of their own.
