There are some stunning beaches in North Norfolk and I love the fact that they are now more accessible to people with limited mobility. Well done @NorthNorfolkDC https://t.co/b6fNfa59Fp

In coastal areas, disadvantaged young people are half as likely to gain two or more A-levels and half as likely to enter university as those in our country’s major cities (@SMCommission, 2017). We want to change the story. #access #highereducation #socialmobility

Really excited about this partnership and the transformative experience it will mean for young people from less advantaged backgrounds. #collaboration

I'm not a CEO, but this is the most uplifting thread I've seen in ages. The world should be a place where anyone can be anything of they are the best person for the job, regardless of how they look, what they sound like or where they come from.

[Sarah Atkinson @SarahHatstand]

Inspired by an unkind comment in a letter I received that told me I didn’t have “a CEO look”, I’m posting this photo to demonstrate that leadership is diverse, and charity CEOs can look like anything (including like hell!) #ThisIsWhatACEOLooksLike

'If you put all you eggs in one basket, there's a terrible mess when you drop it' @MaryBoustedNEU says it like it is. Gove's 'reforms' have left a legacy. And not a good one. https://t.co/VafuLPPcEI

An inescapable truth - "our young people deserve better" @raetooth @VilliersPark

I am so proud of the dignity I have seen from our students. Many were ill-served by the system today, yet they give me so much hope for the future. #alevels2020

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

Young people from less advantaged areas have been hit hardest with downgrading. This is not ok. As @raetooth says: Educational inequality is never acceptable. Our young people deserve better.

[Villiers Park Educational Trust @VilliersPark]

'Educational inequality is never acceptable - our young people deserve better': @raetooth on #AlevelResults day https://t.co/IOsZ5NS1NY

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

To everyone supporting those getting #AlevelResults and helping them navigate through today in this particularly stressful year, teachers, third sector organisation like @VilliersPark , private providers like @NEC_Education : I'm thinking of you today. They're lucky to have you.

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

Well said @AlexGrant_HB Thinking of all the school teams, pupils and parents today.

[Alex Grant @AlexGrant_HB]

To all TAs, teachers, SLT & heads, site managers and their teams, catering teams, administrators & anyone else I am sorry to have forgotten.

You are all amazing!! Whether increasing numbers or not, you will have made the right choice. They are your schools and you know best.

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

@AlexGrant_HB Oh, Alex. I cannot wait to read that! 😂

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

So. I'll be writing The Magic Caterpillar according to the #BookTrustNameGame generator. Perhaps he'll sprout wings and fly....oh, wait....🐛🦋

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

We've got a #FridayFeeling, so let's have some fun!

We'd love you to write a story... and we'll give you the title to start. Just use our #BookTrustNameGame generator and let us know what you end up with (plus share your stories!) We'll be writing The Magic Hippo... 😂

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

What a great day of online learning. Thank you Mark and Marcus @MooreKSLLP for making full cost recovery models interesting! #fundraising

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

@areyoureadyteam Well, that's my coffee break reading list sorted!

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

Great session at @VilliersPark virtual #whyevaluate conference. Much learned about possible selves theory & cooperative learning. Thank you @areyoureadyteam & @WerdelinEdu My key takeaway: how crucial identifying and addressing constraints and limitations is in developing agency

[John Tizard @JohnTizard]

This @TheIFS report provides important evidence on how the Covid lockdown is amplifying social economic inequality in education. It is accelerating the decline in social mobility. The problem predates Covid as @VilliersPark is very aware. Lessons must be learnt and action taken.

[Carly Mason @CarlyAcres]

A few years ago we had to remove our holly tree to work on the house. It recently started to grow again. From nothing. A timely reminder of how resilient we can be. #resilience #StayHome #COVID19 #bekindtoyourself

[Villiers Park Educational Trust @VilliersPark]

It's not always easy, but it's a great thing to do! Our Yr 13 Scholars learnt the art of 'competitive' networking. Who could gather the most business cards! They were confident, curious, aspirational, interesting AND interested. Skills we value here at Villiers Park! #networking

[Villiers Park Educational Trust @VilliersPark]

Fantastic slot about VP and the difference it makes to young people from less advantaged backgrounds in Swindon - and beyond. Listen @ 13.40 Thanks Marie Lennon @BBCWiltshire @DanOB1986
