Shocking decision from @AQAEnglish today. Not only has the decision come later than promised, it also disadvantages students/schools who have not yet taught poetry as they were focusing on the other texts. Will be carefully considering whether to mark for them again.
Wonderful news for Northern Irish students- here's hoping English students receive the same. 3 days to go
After consulting @CCEA_info & having listened to the concerns of principals, teachers, parents & young people, I have decided that all GCSE students on Thursday will now receive the grades submitted by their school.

It's the Conservative education dream:
Everyone gets grades in line with what type of school they go to.
We'll be lucky if they ever bring back exams.

For the doubters. We are always teaching, researching, planning, striving to be better. Even if it is in pjs, on our 12th coffee of the day and 3st heavier than we were in March.
