2021 Alevel and GCSE exams to follow the same standard as the 2020 Class

Petition Details

Remove the exams to take place in 2021 as the GCSE and Alevel classes have lost valuable time during COVID-19 and thus are not prepared for the exams. Instead follow the same treatment being given to the classes of 2020 and have the grade decided based on work done throughout the year
