Our kids have had a horrendous year with their education - or lack of it.
Not to mention all the stress of dealing with coronavirus/lockdown etc. The very least we can do for them is to award them all their predicted grades for A levels and GSCEs.

2019 figures follow in brackets.

Mayfield Girls' 66% (55%)
Sherfield School 70% (37%)
Leweston School 51% (37%)

Tell me how this isn’t discrimination based on class 👇
