Then spare a thought for those pupils who've just been told they won't take their GCSEs or A'levels now.

They don't know when they WILL take them.

They don't know IF they will take them.

If they are intending to move up to 6th form or FE college they don't know how they will be enrolled with no exam results, nor whether they can even move up any more.

The students (and teachers!) all deserve be given more certainty that this.


Of course, they all like the idea of not having to do the exams, but that is superficial. They need to know how they are doing and to have certainty over their college / Uni applications / other plans.


It has to be objective grading but my daughter was in hospital when the last exams were done so would get a low grade if they used the last results, but has been doing much better since - so is expected to get higher grade in the summer


I feel for the schools and teachers, whc have to be fair as futures and choices are at stake.

Well that was my spare thought. I didn't realise it had to be helpful.

It would be expected grade not last exam I'd think.


I'd have been sc*wed anyway - I didn't bother until the final exam.

Yes, sorry but my daughter is a secondary school teacher and she phoned me the other night very upset!

Spare a thought for all those in in the retail and hospitality sector-not the highest paid jobs on the market many of the staff relying on tips or commission to boost their income.

Suddenly they find themselves in an uncertain position as to when they will be able to return to work or indeed if they'll have jobs to return to.

People in these industries are the least likely to have a savings safety net often living from one wage packet to the next.

They will be terrified.

kids will get their qualifications they live at home and needn't worry about paying rent and putting food in their mouths-Please spare a thought for the bar tender, shop assistant, waiting staff, what about them???

    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
