This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Create set grade boundaries for new GCSE students.
Rejected on
It is unfair to pupils, as currently, the top 20% of grade 7 pupils will receive a grade 9. Meaning your grades are dependant on how other people do.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Grade boundaries aren't decided by the Government or Parliament. They are set by exam boards.
