stop the 33% decrease in GCSE and A Level grades.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

A-level and GCSE results will be handed out in August this year on the normal date expected, with results based on work so far, mock exam results, teacher assessments and other factors. Each school has someone to sign this off, that person is accountable and their calculations will have to stand up to scrutiny.
The Government Dept responsible for this has decided in their wisdom to reduce those grades by up to 33%

We call on Boris Johnson to intervene now and stop this.

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
