Petition Action

Force the government to overturn downgraded A Levels and fight social injustice.

Petition Details

Mirror Scotland's response to downgraded Highers and use Centre Assessed Grades to inform A Level grades.

Additional Information

State schools have been disproportionately affected by this. Some students have lost 4+ grades in a single subject. The grading system does not take into account students as individuals and the wealth of assessment data schools have collected on each child.
