Year 11/13 not to go back to school/college and no in school/college assessments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Year 11/13 students are really struggling to keep their grades up working from home, now having in school/college assessments don’t seem fair as we haven’t had our full education experience, we cannot get full support from our teachers meaning we can not achieve our deserved grade in these tests
Half or more of the students at my college have had corona, it doesn’t seem safe to send us back to college when our formal exams are cancelled, and now knowing these assessments will go towards our grade, it’s affecting us massively. We are all very stressed and our mental health has declined not knowing how we are going to achieve our deserved grade or how we can boost our grade up as we have no idea what these ‘assessments’ are or if the full specification of the subject will be on them.
