Rejected petition Refund fees for A-level & GCSE entries from examination boards

Schools are doing the bulk of the work to decide this year’s grades following the decision to scrap exams.
Therefore examination boards should refund the fees charged for A-level and GCSE entries this summer.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about refunding exam fees are a matter for individual exam boards, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to reimburse schools for exam board fees for the last two academic years, if that's what you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
