Cancel 2021 A Level and GCSE exams
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Due to the number of cases increasing drastically GCSE and A Level exams for next year should be cancelled as the Year 11’s and Year 13’s are in a worse position as last year as they have missed out months of learning which has a big and negative impact on our mental health and academic learning.
Students should have the opportunity of whether they want to sit exams or wish to get teacher assessed grades. This is unfair and we are in a worse situation than ever.
