Treat school's estimated A-Level grades as final grades.
Change the unfairly calculated A-Level grades to the grades schools assigned to individual pupils, as was conducted in Scotland.
Ofqual have developed an algorithm that played a game of luck with people's grades. Schools have considered pupils past performance and improvements from GCSE Mock results to their final grades and also have all the evidence and research required to establish well predicted and estimated grades. Scotland has made the wise decision of allowing the people who know the students best to decide the grades the students get when they try their best. Many people's lives and careers are in your hands.
