Rejected petition High achievers: let grade 9 mocks count as real GCSE results

Allow students who achieve a grade 9 in their official GCSE mock exams to have it count as their final GCSE, so they don’t need to retake the subject in summer. This would reward top performers, reduce stress, and free time for further study or enrichment.
