Lower grade boundaries for all 2020 GCSEs, a levels and university level exams!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want all grade boundaries to be lowered for all 2020 exams, we also want the exams to be fair considering the disruption to school life.
We want them lowered because of all the school closures and students as well as teachers being absent courses haven’t been finished, we haven’t had the support years before us have received and our exams won’t be fair in comparison to the years before because of all the disruption!
