BRADFORD South MP Judith Cummins has written to the Prime Minister and the Education Secretary calling for the Government to award both A-level and GCSE students their teacher predicted grades.

Calls been named nationally for a Government U-turn over the controversial system for awarding A-level results in England which used an algorithm aimed at standardising results.

Now Mrs Cummins has written to Boris Johnson and Gavin Williamson saying using the teacher predicted method is ‘now the only way forward’, adding ‘the historic injustice of the current system cannot be allowed to continue.

In the letter, Mrs Cummins writes: “Over the last few days, I have heard heart-breaking stories of young people who have been denied future opportunities through no fault of their own.

“The scale of the injustice caused by the fatally flawed system has now become clear.

“Turning to this week’s GCSE results, I am deeply concerned that we are facing an even worse situation. GCSEs are taken by a much wider cohort and are a key stepping stone into further education or vocational education.

“I urge you to act immediately to avoid a repeat of the A-level fiasco.”

But a U-turn over the controversial system for awarding A-level results in England appears imminent after Tory MPs heaped pressure on Mr Johnson and Mr Williamson to change course.

Downing Street refused to rule out a shift to a Scottish-style system based on teachers' predicted grades rather than an algorithm aimed at standardising results.

Mr Johnson has gone on holiday to Scotland this week despite the chaos over the A-level results, but held talks with Mr Williamson and senior officials on Monday morning.

In an indication that the grades awarded last week may not be the final results, a Number 10 spokesman said "the Government continues to work hard to come up with the fairest system possible".

The Welsh Government announced that A-levels and GCSEs would be awarded based on the "centre assessment grades" from teachers, with minister Kirsty Williams saying it was a fair way of proceeding "given decisions elsewhere".

An announcement on A-level and GCSE results is widely expected on Monday afternoon from Mr Williamson and Ofqual.

Downing Street insisted that Mr Johnson still has confidence in the Education Secretary and Ofqual chief Sally Collier.
