The government is considering continuing handing cheat sheets to students to help with GCSEs next year due to the disruption caused by lockdown.

On Thursday, the Department for Education (DfE) said it is considering giving students set to sit their GCSE exams in 2024 extra additional support for mathematics, physics, and combined science.
