VOID ALL GCSE ENTRIES FROM YEAR 10 STUDENTS OR BELOW FOR 2016 RESULTS.
I would like Ofqual to consider revoking all results for GCSE's from Year 10 students or below for 2016's results as placing high grade students of lower year groups in with Year 11 results increases grade boundaries for exams putting Year 11 Border Line student's in a uncertain position.
Due to specification's changing many teachers have forced high grade Year 10 students to sit there GCSE's this year to try and guarantee them higher grades in the old specification. But teachers don't realise placing top achieving year 10 students in exams does NOT help year 11's with grade boundaries making it harder to pass!
