@FreddieTeaCat Total hypocrisy. A school was downgraded because there were gaps in students learning caused by the pandemic! Absolute nonsense and such a damaging process.
@mooramana And why can't we find a way to contact them. Just had a lovely picture of someone else's front door telling me I wasn't in!!!! I'm awaiting a medication delivery. I've come on to here to find their customer services but they don't seem to have an account!
There are disabled people in this country currently laying in their own urine because their local councils are too underfunded to get a social care worker to help them get out of bed today.
In Germany the new Health Secretary is a medical doctor who's an absolute expert on Covid. In the UK, the Health Secretary is an ex-banker. I think that says more about the UK than Germany.
So...if schools are paying money over for their GCSE and A level students to be examined but neither examiners or the teachers (who are doing the examining) are being paid, who's getting the money?

I've seen a GCSE 'assessments' timetable. These are 'assessments' of course. Not 'exams'. Because the students aren't having 'exams'. They're having assessments. Sitting in a room. Doing exam papers. But they're not 'exams' because there are no 'exams'. They're 'assessments'.
Dear Boris Johnson
You said that GCSE exams for this year were cancelled. They're not cancelled. They're called 'assessments'. And instead of examiners marking them, teachers are. For no money. But the schools have paid the exam boards. Where's the money?
