Change the study leave requirements for the GCSE examinations

The Issue

Year 11 students are currently expected to remain on site for the entire school day for the first 2 weeks of GCSE examinations, regardless of how many examinations are held on each day. Beyond this, some schools require their students to wear full school uniform for the entire duration of their GCSE examinations. This petition seeks to gain the opportunity to discuss these concessions with the local member of parliament, and perhaps come to a compromise. This will potentially come into effect by the 2023 GCSE examination period. We humbly ask for your signature if you believe that this matter should be discussed in more detail with the students it is affecting.
