Stop GCSEs and A-Levels from being cancelled
Coming from a students point of view (A-Level) we have been working hard for a while towards these exams. Cancelling them means that it has all been for nothing. Additionally, our true potential cannot be shown and instead our predicted grades will be used, which are rarely accurate.
I’m sure I speak for many students working towards A-levels and GCSEs when I say that we deserve our actual results based off evidence of testing rather than off teacher predictions. The last couple of months before exams are often a time when students improve considerably and exams are the only way that can really accurately portray this.
