Rejected petition Allow the Predicted Grade System for A-Level and GCSE Students
Due to school closure and therefore exam cancellation, it is only right to initiate the predicted grade system from last year for this year's exam cohort. This ensures fairness for all students and allows fair comparison to be made from last year and this years grade boundaries etc.
More details
Allowing the same predicted graded system but better improved, so it does not focus on socioeconomic background at all but rather purely on a students performance throughout their A-Level course, will allow students to be graded what they deserve. Rather than put anymore strain on their mental health by bringing in another form of exams, which will be difficult anyway due to their severe disruption to learning throughout A-Levels, allow them some respite with the prior predicted grade system.
