"All too often accusations that the curriculum in schools is becoming easier detract from the valiant hard work that school communities - including both pupils and teachers - invest in exams and their own academic futures.
"The publication of results represents an emotionally demanding chapter in the long saga of the examination season. Teachers often face pressure from league tables, parents and school leaders to ensure their pupils perform well; pressure that can have a negative effect on their wellbeing.
"Whatever the results of their classes, any teacher experiencing emotional or practical problems as a result of exams, or any other issue, can contact Teacher Support Network via our free, confidential Support Line on 08000 562 561 or via our online services at www.teachersupport.info."
