Give A-Level kids the grades their teachers predicted & backed up with evidence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Students across the board who excelled at GCSES, some doing 4 A-Levels, have had grades inexplicably cut down by a faulty algorithm. University places lost. Mocks discounted. They received results they would never have got. They didn’t sit exams. Appeals are not the solution. Reinstate predictions.

Gavin Williamson needs to reinstate A-Level teacher predictions. The kids of 2020 have had lives ruined by a totally unfair and strange assessment system. GCSEs should be teacher predictions this Covid year.

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
