Petition Give all 2021 A-level students grades based on their GCSE results
All students’ A-level results should be based off their GCSE results.
More details
During the summer 2020 lockdown, all students received different qualities of teaching. Some being given fantastic support and some being given barely at all! Majority of 2021 students have not been given the chance to sit a mock exam or formal examination of any sort and therefore to base students’ grades off ‘topic assessments’ that ‘do not matter’ is simply unfair and incredibly dangerous for our futures.

Share your views on how GCSE, AS and A level grades should be awarded in summer 2021
Ofqual and the Department for Education have launched a consultation on how GCSE, AS and A level grades should be awarded in summer 2021. They'd like to hear from students who were due to take their exams, their parents and carers, their teachers, school and college leaders and others who have an interest, including further and higher education providers, and employers.
The consultation outlines proposals for grades based on teacher assessment, and asks for views on these, including how teachers should be supported to make their assessments fairly and consistently.
