My son has just started Year 11 after an unexpectedly bad GCSE English mark - like many other pupils. There's lots on the BBC news websites and The Guardian has run an article too about the unfairness of Ofqual 'moving the goal posts' half way through the year. Basically they put up the pass rate to 9 points - I believe an unprecedented rise - subsequently a lot of children who were expected to achieve a B or C in certain subjects received a D. The Government are saying that it is innappropriate for them to intervene in the business of Ofqual - which begs the question who are they accountable to? If anyone has experienced the same situation with their children I would really like to know whether their schools are appealing as I understand others are. I have heard a whisper of an independant enquiry - I've written to Tessa Jowell and would encourage anyone who feels the same to write to her thanks Karen

      Agree - used Trelco recently off the back of the helpful recommendations above and 100% would recommend to others.  Responsive, resourceful and good value.

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By IlonaM · Posted

      By now you’ve hopefully seen that our main demonstration against Trump’s state visit is in London on Wednesday. Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan: We’re asking you to come and line Windsor High Street tomorrow in a peaceful, static protest.  Time: 6pm, Tue 16 Sept Location: Assemble outside Windsor Parish Church, High St, Windsor SL4 1LS and then spread out along the High Street. Grab some cardboard and a pen and make a homemade sign to show Donald Trump and his supporters what you think of them!  The world’s media will be in Windsor to cover the state visit, so showing visually that he is not welcome will send an important message far and wide. If you are coming then please join this Signal chat group for important updates.     Protest safety Please buddy up and come with someone else You have a right to peacefully demonstrate, but we are expecting a high police presence. Remain non-violent and non-confrontational, and do not talk to the police. It may be better to dress inconspicuously, not like an ‘activist’ We plan on ending at 7.30pm. Please leave in groups of 5–10 and make sure you have a bust card This action is entirely legal but we still recommend that you read this key advice when going on a protest to know your rights. Remember:  No comment No personal details Ask ‘under what power?’ No duty solicitor Don’t accept a caution Here is the protest support line: 07946 541 511 and here is more information on Stop & Search under the Public Order Act.   Thank you for being part of the movement against Trump. In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
