Rejected petition Allow 2020 A-Level students to take their teacher-assigned grades
On 13th August 2020, thousands of A Level students across England & Wales received grades that in no way reflected their previous performace, mock results, class ranking or teacher assigned grades.
We request that the government allow students to use their teacher-assigned grades.
More details
The Scottish Parliament have already agreed that the untested and unreliable nature of the algorithm used has disadvanted many pupils. We feel that this option should also be open to A level students in England and Wales.
