Rejected petition stop the 33% decrease in GCSE and A Level grades.

Rejected on 20 August 2020

stop the 33% decrease in GCSE and A Level grades.

A-level and GCSE results will be handed out in August this year on the normal date expected, with results based on work so far, mock exam results, teacher assessments and other factors. Each school has someone to sign this off, that person is accountable and their calculations will have to stand up to scrutiny.
The Government Dept responsible for this has decided in their wisdom to reduce those grades by up to 33%

We call on Boris Johnson to intervene now and stop this.
