Description

Today A-Level results have reached record highs since the Covid pandemic, with London students achieving the best grades in the country. However, experts say the gap between the best and worst performing regions appears to be widening, with the North-South divide becoming further entrenched. Efua Poku-Amanfo, a researcher at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), joins us to discuss.  


And in part two, John Darlington, director at the World Monuments Fund, joins us to explore the history of Kirkaldy’s Testing Works museum in Southwark, which features as this week’s Hidden London destination.
