Reverse downgrades of all English A-level results
Like many other students, I received grades that were downgraded from my teacher predictions. Chemistry was consistently my strongest subject and I achieved 2 marks off an A* in mocks. Even so my prediction was standardised from an A* to an A. Leading me to miss my offer to study at Cambridge.
The "triple lock" system is not fit for purpose. Mocks are not standardised and vary wildly in their content from school to school. The standardisation process is equally flawed, in no way is it just that one's own results are influenced by the work of others.
We call upon the government to bring England in line with Scotland and reverse downgrades to honour teacher predictions. After all, a teacher will know their students better than any civil servant ever could.
