So Year 11 and above are ignored yet again. How does that help social mobility and mental health?

They were dumped in March without warning. No exams, no news or support for retakes;some won’t get what they should have but won’t be able to appeal; the gap between schools and thus support for catch up for Alevels is huge; many have working parents and have been left alone for weeks;they’ve had very little interaction from schools and friends;mental health figures for this cohort must be dire.....

But apparently this age group are getting a big fat zero from the government. No support, no extra cash. Nothing.

Uni admissions, mental health and social mobility figures will be interesting over the next few years.

We’ve had precious little from school except a flurry of phone calls this week (after last exam would have finished) to check that everything is ok. I presume this is to ensure that there was no help they could actually provide. This was followed the next day by an email that there would be no results day. Call me cynical about the timing of that one...

So, In this fast moving environment, with a cohort who have had the rug completely pulled from under their feet, the school feel it is appropriate to cancel this event 2 months in advance. My children are utterly broken.
