Cancel GCSE’s and A Levels in 2021

What the petition asks
Cancel GCSEs and A Levels to give students an opportunity for more accurate results after 6 months away from a classroom environment.
I am currently in Year 11 and working towards my GCSE’s. If they were to cancel A Levels and GCSE’s, myself and every other student in England would be given appropriate and accurate grades, instead of grades that don’t reflect students abilities as a result of 6 months away from a classroom environment.
It is much needed to cancel exams, remove pressure and give students the results they deserve.
