Cancel January Exams
Rejected

What the petition asks
A Level and GCSEs have been cancelled but BTEC exams can still go on despite a national lockdown. They are equally as important and it is not fair for the students having to sit them. Schools are closed and you’re not allowed in but you can sit in a cramped exam hall?
