Are you happy with GHS?

We’ve been happy with Guildford High until now. I’m keen to hear other opinions. Maybe lots of schools are currently dreadful not just ours?

Mixed messages at the moment.

This morning - "Michael Gove confirms GCSE and A-level exams are definitely cancelled amid claims ministers are considering contingency plan to allow students to sit English and Maths in small groups over several days this summer"

But also at the same time - "Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it would not be "possible or fair" for all exams to go ahead as normal in the summer, adding: "The Education Secretary will work with Ofqual to put in place alternative arrangements." One option being considered is for examinations to be held for core subjects, like English and maths, and other subjects assessed through coursework"

SO WHO KNOWS! I feel for the kids!

@Mikeexcel

Hi *@jnoj*, I think you posed this somewhere else as well, but a good source of info might be some of your DS's Year 13 friends, who would've been in the year above her, and affected when it happened?

BUT, like the PP said, it was a very disappointing time for the girls - a mate of mine, his daughter is just one that took a hit on her results as a result of strange, and slightly dodgy actions by the school leadership.

Also, im sure this year there will be a more robust system in place than last, so those types of things don't happen again - also, i'm pretty sure GHS wont risk a repeat of summer 2020.

Finally, who's saying it will be a CAG system anyway? The government have just said that "exams wont go ahead in their current form", that doesn't mean they're cancelled.....

Thanks @Mikeexcel very helpful on both threads! I was not sure this one would still be replied to tbh hence the other post

I think you work for GHS. It’s easy to get top results with IQ screened entrants!

Who are you speaking to? Noone here works for GHS so I'm not sure what you're point is?
