Rejected petition Give A-Level kids the grades their teachers predicted & backed up with evidence
Students across the board who excelled at GCSES, some doing 4 A-Levels, have had grades inexplicably cut down by a faulty algorithm. University places lost. Mocks discounted. They received results they would never have got. They didn’t sit exams. Appeals are not the solution. Reinstate predictions.
More details
Gavin Williamson needs to reinstate A-Level teacher predictions. The kids of 2020 have had lives ruined by a totally unfair and strange assessment system. GCSEs should be teacher predictions this Covid year.
