Rejected petition Have Edexcel lower the Mathematics (Higher and Foundation) grade boundaries.

At the start of February, we received our PPE results. It was surprising to find that the highest level received among many of the students was a level 4 (A very loose C). Very few students had exceeded or met their target grades, and even students deemed 'more able' didn't achieve as expected.
