What the petition asks
We want assurance that the exams due to take place in summer 2021 will NOT be postponed. They should either go ahead as normal or be based on CAGs.
We have missed over six months worth of work and postponing the exams will have no impact on our learning. Our year groups have faced more turmoil than any other and yet people seem to think that three weeks will make up for all of this.
Those students who did take part in online learning should not be punished through the postponing of exams. No students want this. Let us sit the exams in June, or cancel them, and move on with our lives. We deserve a break!
