Getting to University from a state school changed my life. I'm beyond gutted that that opportunity is being snatched away from a generation of talented kids. My support and respect to kids and parents affected this year.
Weeks of chaos, confusion and incompetence.
We need a return to teacher assessments for A-level results and urgent action to avoid the same injustice for GCSE students.
Boris Johnson has been invisible during this crisis. He needs to take personal responsibility, and fix it.
We were told we could use our mock grades, Ofqual changed this last night.
We were told that universities would be flexible, many aren't being understanding.
We were told that the algorithm was fair, it isn't.
We have every right to be angry and protest.

I can only imagine how distressing the cancellation of exams has been for students, parents and teachers. My priority now is to ensure no young person faces a barrier when it comes to moving onto the next stage of their lives.

I'm just looking at a case where student predicted ABB and got DEU who has lost every uni offer he had and has now been rejected by clearing. Appeals are just the tip of the iceberg of what needs to be done - and done now- to put this mess right. Heartbreaking.

I'm normally fairly relaxed about things however for some reason this A-Level situation has really upset me. Is anyone else feeling like that? And is there anything, practically, which I can do which would be useful?

@angela_aylmore @CarlBrownisback@campbellclaret I think the problem is that the Government hasn’t given any guidance on how to appeal yet. It’s so upsetting.
Establishing working hours, structuring your day, and setting boundaries can go a long way in making a remote workday more productive and keeping it from bleeding into your personal time. https://t.co/aluIxKShrK
Making the most of the lovely weather (apparently it’s going to rain all week after the weekend). So happy that my lavender is finally flowering.

Did some gardening today and found that an animal had trampled on part of the flower bed, so I put the bits that had broken off into a jam jar.
