What the petition asks
The current year 11’s who are due to sit their GCSES this may, are struggling massively, they have missed out on four months worth of content and are struggling at home to teach themselves the missed content.
The government should STOP all GCSES going ahead for this year and give their grades like the previous year 11’s who are now in their first year of college, this would stop so many children being disadvantaged and not achieving the grades they deserve.
