Reinstate all downgraded Alevels and GCSEs across the whole UK.

Petition Details

Bring the rest of the UK in line with Scotland in terms of calculating 2020 exam results (using the teacher predicted grades without moderation).

Additional Information

The current system adversely affects the most disadvantaged and is overall unsuccessful at representing the abilities of students. The teachers they have spent the last two years with know better than a formula.
