Fantastic news for Maddie, our 1st IX Hockey Captain.

[St Joseph's College @sjcrmain]

What a wonderful surprise! Grays have generously sponsored our inspirational 1st XI Hockey captain Maddie this year, including providing her with a whole set of wonderful kit.
A big thank you to @GraysTeamsport @GraysHockey! #SJCRSport #SJCRCommitment

Could not be prouder of Derin’s achievement; gaining a place at Cambridge University is the cherry on top of a wonderful school career. 🧑🏾‍🎓 🌟 📚

[St Joseph's College @sjcrmain]

Congratulations to Derin, who has been a pupil at St Joseph's College since Year 6. She will be heading off to read Law at Girton College, Cambridge University. https://t.co/rnTWs4eEJf

Congratulations to our sports captains who do so much to lead their SJCR teams to victory. 💫

Our recent St Joseph's Sports Award Dinner was a wonderful evening of celebration and recognition for our sport stars. Thanks to our guest speakers, Louis Alexander and Josh Quigley who offered inspiration and real life advice. https://t.co/5pZ9yng2rF #SJCRCommitment

When the new Sixth Form cafe is just a few steps from your office and there’s freshly made pizza straight from the oven every day! 🍕

[St Joseph's College @sjcrmain]

Over the summer, work has been taking place on the Sixth Form centre refurbishment. Year 13 student, Peter shared his view on the new design which has been a collaborative project involving input from the students. #SJCRCollaboration

Year 12 doing the Sixth Form proud in their first peer mentoring session of the year.

[St Joseph's College @sjcrmain]

Sixth Form mentors offered lots of advice and support as they met with Year 7 pupils to help them settle into life at the Senior School #SJCRCommunity #SJCRCollaboration

This week educating the Sixth Form outside of the classroom: watching the #KamalaHarrisVP acceptance speech and the #EmiliaWatchParty. Empowering and inspiring the next generation one day at a time. #thatsmyjob

Ofqual has approved our revised changes to GCSE English Literature for summer 2021. More info > https://t.co/CXc6nK4K9s

[AQA English @AQAEnglish]

We’ve listened to your feedback about our changes to GCSE English Literature for summer 2021. As a result, we’ve been reconsidering our changes – so, as promised, here’s an update for you > https://t.co/13C39b3jVw

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@AQAEnglish @ofqual Yes or @OCR_English which would also work.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@AQAEnglish This is unacceptable. @ofqual made it clear only Shakespeare is compulsory. What if students have already studied the pre & post 19th options, but not Shakespeare & Poetry. They’d now be at a huge disadvantage. Schools need to decide what is best for their students not AQA.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@MrHVijayan @AQAEnglish That is exactly the situation I am in. Arbitrary is completely the word to use for it. These students are now at a huge disadvantage. @AQA need to rethink this ASAP.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

We can only hope @AQAEnglish listen to the teachers and reinstate a fair system which allows all students the chance to succeed. Centres need to decide for themselves which options students will benefit from studying, based on what has already been taught in Y10.

[Tes magazine @tes]

England's largest school exam board @AQA looks set to announce a U-turn next week on its controversial decision to make poetry study compulsory in the 2021 English literature GCSE https://t.co/5uCZHPvKkr

[GCSE MACBETH @GCSE_Macbeth]

The AQA guidance for Lit 2021 is out

[Teacher's Manual @UnofficialOA]

‘Oh damn. I left my water bottle in L6, my year 11 books is U5, my board markers in M4, and the room I’m in teaching in next doesn’t have a remote for the projector.’

(Secondary teachers- if you know, you know).

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@Soarpoints @madelaineacooke Oxbridge is offering tutorials/supervisions (which makes up the bulk of their teaching and is a unique teaching style at UK universities) in person.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@Deborah_dee7 @florencerounda2 @madelaineacooke @AldhousRalph Sadly that’s not true.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@SkyNews @joncraig The problem is, at the moment you can only appeal if you think a mistake was made with the input of data (ie a clerical error). You can’t appeal if you don’t like your grade or feel it wasn’t fair. Until that appeal IS allowed there’s no point saying govt will pay for appeals. 🤷‍♀️

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@AlisonMPeacock @CharteredColl Thank you for speaking out Alison. However at the moment there is no appeals process if students are unhappy with the grades and think they’re unfair. Please call on the government to create an appeals process, and quickly.

[📚 Mrs Hart 📚 @MrsCIHart]

@eltvasconcelos @MrRDenham Now that’s a good idea I hadn’t thought of. Will definitely be investigating that in 2022! 😂
