The i writes that regulators are refusing to disclose records for individual care homes, in part to safeguard commercial interests of the companies running them.

The i says Conservative supporters are getting restless as the prime minister is accused of seeking to pin blame for the A-level grading fiasco on a top civil servant.

The i reports on the government’s new guidance on wearing masks in schools, calling it “yet another U-turn”.

The i newspaper leads with a story about record GCSE results.

The i says Boris Johnson is backing Education Secretary Gavin Williamson, despite the A-level results U-turn where students will now be handed exam grades as predicted by their teachers instead of a controversial algorithm.

Unsurprisingly the government U-turn on A-level results dominates the morning papers. The i newspaper says Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has caved in over the “grades fiasco”. It carries a picture of celebrating pupils after the government reversed its decision to use an algorithm rather than teachers’ assessments to give students their results after the coronavirus pandemic caused exams to be cancelled.
