Allow 2020 A-Level students to take their teacher-assigned grades

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On 13th August 2020, thousands of A Level students across England & Wales received grades that in no way reflected their previous performace, mock results, class ranking or teacher assigned grades.

We request that the government allow students to use their teacher-assigned grades.

The Scottish Parliament have already agreed that the untested and unreliable nature of the algorithm used has disadvanted many pupils. We feel that this option should also be open to A level students in England and Wales.

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
