@DeanCloseWarden @DCSJ_official Hope Boleyn and Howard are a bit luckier than their namesakes.

@deanclosehead Most sensible piece I have read on the whole situation that has arisen due to covid and the farce of algorithms etc.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@CambridgeUgly @MrsDown23 @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual I can tell you how they were double-marked if you would like and what exact guidance we were given by Ofqal regarding what any school, private or state, was allowed to tell students. Evidence for bribes?

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@MrsDown23 @CambridgeUgly @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual That’s correct.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@CambridgeUgly @MrsDown23 @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual Again, please provide evidence that teachers are being bribed to increase grades. Please don’t say such things without evidence, as it brings into disrepute my professional integrity.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@CambridgeUgly @MrsDown23 @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual I find that sad, and questioning of professional integrity. You would be very welcome to check any process I went through in helping give justified grades without fear or favour. It is utterly not to our benefit to lie seeing as several subjects have been scrutinised by Ofqal.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@CambridgeUgly @MrsDown23 @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual So why say ‘all the private schools will lie.’ This is a slur on professionals who worked incredibly hard in trying circumstances for the good of their students, which includes fair and evidenced assessment of their work.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@Charlie48488887 @logiscompHarris @tes Absolutely right, Charlie. I can tell you from a teacher’s perspective that this process took hours and hours, and was conducted with professional integrity and scrupulous fairness.

[Tower House @TowerDeanClose]

@CambridgeUgly @tes @educationgovuk @ofqual Have you actually any knowledge on which to base this? I work in the independent sector and we were rigorous and professional in awarding grades, and able to justify each one with evidence. This process took many hours and we were called to give evidence across several subjects
