Use predicted grades for final A level results

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Use the grades that A level students have been predicted by their teachers as the replacement for exam results. These would be used to apply to university or other opportunities such as apprenticeships or employment.
It seems like the fairest way to settle the issue of there being no A level exams in summer 2021, there is no other clear alternative and teachers have monitored students work across the two years to award these predictions.
