Decide on what action should be taken for students in Year 10 and Year 12
Decide on a fair resolution about what is to happen to students in Year 10 and Year 12, their qualifications and their futures in sixth form/college and university after being put at such a disadvantage compared to years below and above them.
Because students at home are having to self teach the specification needed for their qualifications in crucial years of education at a standard below average without teacher assistance due to the COVID-19 lockdown closures of schools. Year 10 and Year 12 students are expected to sit their GCSE and A-Level examinations in the summer of 2021 after having to self teach through a global pandemic, taking no mock exams, having no predicted grades, with college and university open days being cancelled.
