resit students should be awarded UCAS predicted grades.CAGs aren't representative of the level we were at throughout the academic year,UCAS predicted grades are
I chose to resit my A levels as I was going through a a really difficult time in year 13 where I was struggling a lot with my mental health and anxiety. I had even reached out to a councillor at school, which shows how bad my mental health was. I spoke to my Gp about this as well
Are some #Alevel left downgraded after Uturn? YES. Students hard work unrewarded by schools who tried to 2nd guess @Ofquals algorithm. Some schools used historical data to calculate a student's grade. Unfair & unjust. @gavinwilliamson@borisjohnson know this & don't care. @LBC
Have been checking in with several of the external exam candidates who got in touch with me over the last weeks. Alas, in most cases, nothing has changed. Most have lost their uni places and staring down the barrel of a 4th year of A-level study in a dismal economic climate.
Continue putting pressure on Ofqual and the government for a fair individual appeals process against centre assessed grades!
The fairest option is now to give students 1) The appeals process mentioned above, and 2) Their UCAS predicted grades

This double lock system should be made available to private candidates who were not awarded grades AND private candidates who were awarded grades that aren't reflective of their work in this academic year.
What about those external students future you cancelled? Give external students without CAGS and external students with unfair CAGS as they're not representative of the work they put in during their gap year their UCAS predicted grades #justiceforresitstudents#alevels@ofqual
I cancelled our family holiday abroad this year to focus on the challenges COVID-19 created for the education sector. Over the summer, I went to see family in Scarborough for the first time since lockdown, and while there I was in constant communication with the Department.
@lewis_goodall I can't believe @GavinWilliamson and @ofqual are not hearing private candidates.What about your promise that students won't face a barrier to move onto their next stage of life or that you'll develop a robust appeals process to help people which in the end didn't help anyone?
@Socialist_Chris Our future, mental health and hearts are shattered. Award CAGS to private students without grades n private students with grades who aren't happy with them as they arent representative of the work they did in their gap year. #justiceforresitstudents@ofqual@GavinWilliamson
#justiceforresitstudents give those external students left without cags and those external students with unfair CAGS (as they're not representative of the work they did in their gap year) their UCAS PREDICTED GRADES
📢🗣️We demand to be given UCAS predicted grades because they have been done by our former teachers or tutors who have knowledge of our capabilities. 📢🗣️

And you must honour offers for 2020 entry for competitive courses including medicine and dentistry. If you're unable to acommdate us then give us secure 2021 deferred entry including courses like medicine and dentistry. #justiceforresitstudents#ofqual#externalstudents#alevels
Why do external students have to suffer so that internal students can progress? The govt is risking our mental health to please the majority and that is not fair. Where is the equality impact assessment here? This is not legal.
