Adora is disappointed that she will not be able to complete her GCSE exams in the summer, but Stan doesn’t seem particularly concerned.

It looks like the teachers will be asked to provide a GCSE grade based on mocks and coursework.

Lisa has been to the supermarket again to get supplies for the coming weeks ahead; there is a real bunker-mentality gripping the country right now.
