Let teachers decide on the final grade students receive at GCSE and AS/A level

Petition Details

Allow teachers to give a fair and accurate grade based on the students coursework and performance instead of the exam boards deciding on the final grade

Additional Information

I and other students have been shocked with our grades and many of us have underachieved. We haven’t had the chance to show what we can do which is why this needs to be more fair
