Cancel the upcoming GCSEs for all year 11 students in 2021

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The GCSEs for 2021 should be cancelled for the year 11 , as a year 11 myself , I know the stress of the exams this year are impacting up us all , we haven’t had enough time to cram all the lessons we need to learn in order to exceed the grades we need.
Last year’s although they still missed out on a lot of school they still had much more time and education that they could do their job exams, and if they where aloud to not do their exams after missing about 2 months of revision, surely us year 11s now should be at some point of exception should not do their own exams and have teacher assessment grades instead

Why it was rejected
