This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Give A level students their centre issued grades.
Give A level students their centre issued grades if theirs have been lowered by the exam board, following Scotland’s example.
More details
The grades issued are grossly unfair and do not reflect the hard work of the students. The current system suggests that the government and exam boards are more aware of individual students abilities based on limited data than their own teachers.
