Petition Action

Make a plan for people who had to stop learning their A Levels/ GCSE content.

Petition Details

We believe that we are going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sitting our A Levels/ GCSE's next year, due to us all losing physical teaching time and having to teach ourselves A Level/ GCSE courses.
Ideally, we would like the grade boundaries to be significantly lowered or the option to resit.

Additional Information

We want you to do it as although we are home learning, it is a lot more difficult for us and we have lost valuable teaching time. We have found that many students in positions when exams are due next year, feel as though they are likely to get a lower grade which may impact their further studies. We understand this situation isn't mainly about us, yet we want to be ensured of what will happen for the current Year 10 and Year 12.
