Pupils and parents have been warned to have a “plan B” for getting to school for their exams during the rail strikes. Pepe Diiasio, head of Wales High School in Rotherham said people should have a “plan B in their back pocket” to get to school. “If you’ve got exams this week, just have a plan A and plan B in your back pocket because … it’s been a difficult year already for people taking exams,” he said. The JCQ, which issued contingency plans for summer exams in April, said schools can start the exam up to 30 minutes after the set start time. The strikes this week means Mr Dixon’s parents will not work in order to get him there, which causes “even more damage”.
