This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Special consideration or syllabus amendment for year 12 students (A-Level 2021).
I would like special consideration or changes to A-Level syllabuses for current year 12 students given the school closures due to Covid-19.
More details
Despite valiant efforts from students to carry on studying and teachers to teach online, current year 12 students’ grades will suffer due to the lost teaching hours in the Covid-19 outbreak. Our post-18 options will be based on our A-Level grades, which will have been hit by this. Current year 13’s will be given predicted grades, but there is no talk of how the interference in year 12 students’ educations will be rectified.
