Year 11 pupils to finish their school year after their GCSE grades are submitted

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow Year 11 Students to finish their Secondary School Education in June as in other years. Summer schooling is pointless for students who have completed their Secondary School Education.

Keeping students in school for an extended period following evidence being provided to exam boards is pointless and has no affect on the GCSE grades. Work being done in Secondary School settings after the submission of grades will not be used as evidence towards A Level qualifications or apprenticeships, so therefore is totally unnecessary. Time away from school during the summer will give 16 year old students, a much needed break for relaxation and respite, following a difficult year.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for schools, who may decide that it's necessary to continue teachign to ensure that the curriculum requirements are covered, rather than relating directly to the awarding of grades.
