Allow grades for students with memory loss to be set by continual assessment

Thousands of people in the UK education system suffer memory problems. Epilepsy, brain injury, anxiety, some medications (to name just a few) can impact a person’s ability to retain information. Children with needs can be assessed and offered extra help to improve their marks in exams e.g extra time, more tuition. Memory can’t miraculously reappear, so these don’t necessarily help! Instead, by offering alternatives to end of course exams, such as continual assessment, course work, smaller yet frequent tests, will provide 'real' help. Exams can hinder a person and damage their health. People suffering memory loss shouldn’t be discriminated against during their education.
