@scarlet_skye88 @BADCH1CK3N @AVFCOfficial I remember the Villa shop being a few doors from the Odeon. It used to be really good and upstairs sold limited edition watches and real gold jewellery, wish they still sold it.

@HeroicMrT If I was AQA I'd have to take a sample of the papers that marker marked and review them. For such a large marking discrepancy there's every chance they've done it more than once.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@HeroicMrT I hope the original marker is dismissed from any future marking until they explain their reasoning and receive further training.

@droedmawr The gov are already undervaluing the importance of qualifications. Makes you wonder what's the point in studying for a qual when you can be unqualified and on the same pay.

@AaronTeamEC Question is how do they plan on recruiting and retaining the practitioners? 🤔

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

I had no idea these once existed, just seeing the photo turned my stomach with worry. Did anyone else know about 'baby cages'? #earlyyears #childcare #childhood #education #parenting #earlychildhood #health

@Mr_Mac93 Imagine if teachers stopped all our athletes from competing in sports. Rugby is doing him good, it could be the only thing he has to look forward to. Who knows what's going on behind closed doors? Imagine being stopped from doing the one thing you love.

@CPH_CIC Or use topcashback or a similar cash back website for all your food orders.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@CPH_CIC You could try and use supermarket petrol stations and order spare reward cards and give to each driver or get them to take a pic and save to their phone and scan so you can at least earn some reward points to spend on food or petrol. ⛽️ 💳

@Headteacherchat In my experience they were always so repetitive and short, children simply remembered the words rather than read them.

@SwailesRuth Pharmacies are open outside of school hours but so are dentists, doctors and hospitals. If you're lucky to get an appointment you take it regardless of time and government are pushing us all to go to the pharmacist for some medical issues and book appointments with them.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@CPH_CIC @aldi @Tesco @asda Is there no way you could gain access to a cash and carry to reduce costs? 🤔

@dave_mcpartlin It's good teachers that have made those achievements not the Conservatives. If anything teachers should be praised for such achievements during the Cons reign of cutting educational budgets and schools losing teachers and support staff.

@Missymusician81 St Mary's The Mount Primary in Walsall. I've been in dozens of schools and this one is lovely and the head is amazing.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@AaronTeamEC I worked in one nursery and the cleaner was paid more than the L3 practitioners. There should be a pay scale like teachers have and it could be achievable if the gov increased funding for children and lowered tax on nurseries.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@sarabonetti77 @EmmaDee77 But after the £1000 the EY practitioners are back to square one. Low pay, struggling to get by and overworked. It's just dangling a carrot and a temporary fix and many EY workers claim UC which will be impacted for the month the £1000 is paid.

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@AaronTeamEC cause after the £1000 they're back to square one it's that classic putting a band aid over the problem it won't change anything in the long run 2/2

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@AaronTeamEC £1000 is nothing when you take into account so many EY workers are claiming UC the £1000 will be paid in a lump sum and wipe out the workers UC payment for the month when its paid to them. I can see some claiming the £1000 then leaving the profession again 1/2

@4myJessBrady Aw you should get that photo and message printed something to cherish forever x

[Thomas Cure @thomas_cure]

@HDE_Sheraby Of course not, you're investing a lot of time and money in the course so get your monies worth. They'll be more than happy to help. Ignore everyone else it's her journey not theirs. Good luck Elizabeth. 👍🏻
