Stop the 33% downgrade of 2020 A level and GCSE results

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government Dept responsible for the evaluation of 2020 grades have decided to reduce grades by up to 33%. These grades will impact the future of all students at GCSE and A-level. Students have worked hard for the grades they deserve, and should not be subjected to further reductions of grades.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that GCSE and A-level students will receive their centre assessment grades: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/gcse-and-a-level-students-to-receive-centre-assessment-grades

Prior to this announcement being made, we had published the following petitions, calling for similar actions to your request:

Reverse all exam grades back to teacher’s own predictions: Reverse all exam grades back to teacher’s own predictions

Review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades: Review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades
