Either cancel or address the issues with the current y12 A level exams next year

Work with students and teachers to evaluate a course of action for A level exams next year and either: cancel the exams, delay them or have teachers submit personalised statements that will affect grades, factoring in how we've mentally coped with Covid-19 and effort in lessons and class work.

This crisis has exasperated existing socio-economic inequalities for many sixth form students. For those of us with pre-existing mental heath problems this pandemic has, for one reason or another, accentuated the struggles we've already been dealing with. We've lost a significant amount of term time, and there are clear discrepancies in the level of education different colleges are able to provide to their students. It would be nothing short of immoral to make us sit our exams like usual.
