Rejected petition Cancel January 2021 exams for Vocational students

Rejected on 6 January 2021

Cancel exams due to be taken by BTEC students in January, allowing teachers to give us predicted grades and scheduling resits for those that aren't satisfied with their grade.

Vocational students have received a lot of disruptions due to COVID-19 and are under a lot of pressure and stress which makes it unfair for exams to go ahead without even a delay like the GCSE/ A Levels in the Summer. Many students have received little on-site teaching due to self isolation and all of us have found it difficult to learn properly with remote lessons.
