Manifesto
We believe young people are more than a grade.Too many are being held back by one narrow way of assessing English and maths.We are not asking to scrap GCSEs or lower standards. We are asking for a fairer format.Functional Skills already show that essential skills can be assessed in a practical, applied and accessible way. We want those strengths offered earlier and built into GCSE English and maths up to Grade 4.Students should not have to fail first before being given a route that works for them.SAME SKILLS. DIFFERENT FORMAT. BETTER OUTCOMES.
MORE THAN A GRADE ●
