Year 11s got their predicted grades yet they had all their revision time, however they missed out on sitting the exams but still got predicted grades.

Year 10s however are going to miss a big chunk of their revision time and help to prepare for the exams so therefore should either get predicted grades or lower the grade boundaries

Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards, individual schools and Ofqual, and are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
