Rejected petition Cancel upcoming A levels and give students UCAS predicted grades. Delay GCSEs.

UCAS predicted grades should be fixed as students' official grades for this year. Those not on UCAS could use previous evidence (such as mocks) to determine A level grades, or could opt to sit next year if they have no university offers pending. GCSEs should be delayed until pandemic contained.

More details

The sitting of these exams now puts students and their families at risk. A levels can't be delayed so UCAS predicted grades must be used.
