Require an independent review of AQA's 2026 GCSE English Language results

Require an independent review of AQA's 2026 GCSE English Language results — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Require an independent investigation into AQA's 2026 English Language marking and grade boundaries, ensuring fair and consistent grading, alignment with national standards, and providing every student with their full marked script and detailed feedback.

Additional details

In 2026, AQA introduced a revised GCSE English Language exam without past papers. Students previously achieving Grades 8-9 received Grade 6, while Grade 6 students received Grades 3-4. Schools reported that comparable marks achieved higher grades under other boards, and examiners raised concerns about inconsistent marking. We call for an independent review of marking and grade boundaries, full marked scripts and detailed mark breakdowns so students can identify errors and challenge results.
