Amazing set of results from our Computer Science and IT students!
Each and every one of you should be so proud of your results and all the work you have put in over the last few difficult years. #AlevelResultsDay2022 #Computing #swchs

Enjoyed an evening of #badminton tonight. Forgot how much I enjoyed it and was pleased that I can still play at a decent level despite not playing for years… returned to my club of 30 years ago. 1 person I knew was still there 🤦‍♀️ maybe I will return to play this season 😊

@gnu_andrew @MrAHarrisonCS @glennturner83 @SteTaylorGFA @tombennett71 Teach computing though and love having them access the internet to find out information for themselves when they ask so maybe my opinion is skewed as we have that resource at their finger tips and I encourage them to use it to become more independent

@gnu_andrew @MrAHarrisonCS @glennturner83 @SteTaylorGFA @tombennett71 Interested to know if you have children @gnu_andrew. Seeing how distracted and non-responsive my kids are at home (and they are generally good kids who get off tech when I ask) I am glad that our school does not allow phones. A large amount of kids would do no work at all 🤷‍♀️

@Vanderpere Although… is it sexist if there are actually only men working up there 🤔?

[Janet Symonds @JanetLSymonds]

@Dominos_UK how is it acceptable to call someone 45 minutes after placing an order to say you have to collect or delivery will be yet another hour and a half?! Yet another evening of appalling service from sawston dominos. Of course at this point nothing has been cooked.

@SLCComms Hi, received a letter telling me I have overpaid my loan (despite phoning to clear the balance at the right time of the month). Letter says to contact you on facebook or twitter, but neither allow a direct message. Do I need to phone? Why not just say phone us!?

[Janet Symonds @JanetLSymonds]

@wendypicci @AIWeddingFilms1 Beautiful! Congratulations Wendy!

@BeverleyCD @imagineinquiry Btec qualifications were made much more robust with the introduction of external assessment from 2016. For Level 3 IT the external assessments carry more weighting than the teacher assessed ones. Some colleges still use the previous qualification which is all teacher assessed.

Proud mummy moment today. Luke was awarded school ambassador cup at his leavers assembly. The speech was all about his kindness and the impact he had had on other students lives. Could not be prouder of him.

[Janet Symonds @JanetLSymonds]

An evening of sophistication for the kids. Also super nice to be in air conditioned room after working in the garden all day!

[Janet Symonds @JanetLSymonds]
