Well done. Very happy for you. It says a lot that you were one of the people they asked.Good evenooning all.
I am busy with school governor meetings this week. All held online of course.
Here in the UK, students sit public exams aged 16 which shape their future career choices. They are likely to sit more public exams aged 18 or may do a vocational qualification instead. However, with public exams cancelled this summer, each school has to submit projected grades to the exam boards with evidence to justify the grade. It’s a complete nightmare; we only have about 300 students across our schools affected which is relatively few compared to some. It’s so important that we do it right.
We ae also trying to plan for unknowns like when will the students be allowed back... and when they come back what will be the conditions surrounding distancing, cleaning, next year’s exams, etc. There are so many variables. And we have to try to ensure the young people aren’t affected for the rest of their lives by events beyond anyone’s control.
In other news, I have been asked if I am willing to go back to the wildlife rescue to volunteer again. They have come up with ways for a small number of us to work in isolation and have been choosey about who they have asked in as we will need to work unsupported and not need direction. So, from Monday, I shall be in weekly feeding baby birds. Apparently they’re inundated again. I am so looking forward to being back there, I have missed it, and will post pictures if I get chance to take them.
