Year 11 pupils to finish their school year after their GCSE grades are submitted

Allow Year 11 Students to finish their Secondary School Education in June as in other years. Summer schooling is pointless for students who have completed their Secondary School Education.

This petition was rejected on 30th Mar 2021 for not being a Government or Parliamentary matter

Keeping students in school for an extended period following evidence being provided to exam boards is pointless and has no affect on the GCSE grades. Work being done in Secondary School settings after the submission of grades will not be used as evidence towards A Level qualifications or apprenticeships, so therefore is totally unnecessary. Time away from school during the summer will give 16 year old students, a much needed break for relaxation and respite, following a difficult year.
