Last year started a Spotify playlist of music released by current and past students and tutors at @MusicNorthbrook called Northbrook MET Allstars. This week it's over 17 hours long and has the UK's first Drill number 1 and a current Top 30 single. @gbmetcoll

[Simon Ashworth @SimonAshworth]

Really powerful piece- stark example of the impact on learners like @Fatoomty03 when @educationgovuk & @GavinWilliamson insist on learners taking exams in the current lockdown public health emergency - lets trust in academic & vocational teachers for teacher assessed alternatives

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@educationgovuk It’s a pity that once again FE colleges are last in line for these - if we end up getting any at all. To date we have over 250 students who are in need of laptops with no timely help from the DfE. I would understand this if they didn’t have time to prepare for this eventuality!

Never give up 💪🏼

Many challenges lie ahead, but keep your head up high and together we’ll come back stronger

Sone great artwork from @GBMETcoll Northbrook Durrington Campus
Did you know there has been a Worthing Art College since the 1900s, and you can study up to degree level here? #degreebytbesea #Worthing #Artcollege

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@educationgovuk @charliemackesy @UKThankATeacher Great idea. Can we include FE teachers next year? Change ‘child’ to student perhaps?

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@Kali_Holder @GBMETcoll Welcome, we look forward to seeing you next week.

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@NickLinford @educationgovuk @GavinWilliamson Functional skills? What about those? Just as important to support progression.

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@NickLinford @A_Weatherall We need the government to put their trust in the teacher grade submissions and not an algorithm. Teachers do know what they are doing. They are skilled professionals who work hard for their students and grade students as individuals. Teacher judgement not algorithm judgement!

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@NickLinford @A_Weatherall All fine. UAL agreed with ALL of our grades. They actually took the time to review our evidence for them as well. We are really delighted for our students. Pearson BTEC agreed with most. The GCSEs are our concern, along with every other provider of course

[Helena Thomas @HelenaThomas01]

@shellster_dan @NickLinford @FEWeek Terribly sad news. Such a loss for the city at a time when the residents need this provision the most.
