Base GCSEs and A Levels on coursework
Base all GCSEs and A Levels on coursework with what students have worked on throughout the school year.
This is more fair for all students because the current global pandemic has forced some students to self isolate because of coming into contact with an infected person so therefore they haven't had as much time and support as the rest of the school year to study for the subjects that they are taking this year. Exams can put teenagers under pressure and stress so when they haven't been able to do the lessons like the rest of the year it will put added stress onto them which is not fair on them!
