Hi
Understandably, we’re hearing about the focus for 2022, and the forthcoming results for the consultation.
But, not hearing much about 2023 - beyond some speculation on numerical grades for A Levels - shot I hope not.
I’ve check Tes; are there any other sites that might offer some nuggets of info!

With any luck it won't be Gavin's responsibility then.

Gavin does stay out of the limelight as much as he can.
I do through expect summer exams to resume every year from 2022.

I desperately hope so. I think the past 2 years has demonstrated that using CAGs and TAGs or even course work is completely unreliable as there are such discrepancies between schools’ approaches.

I expect he'll put something really important and useful in place, like wearing lucky pants to all your exams.

That's about his level of priority.

I expect the long overdue results of the 2022 consultation will give some idea on direction of travel - probably down another rabbit hole!

Btw, been watching YouTube videos on how to study in Y12/13. It’s harrowing abs pessimistic; it’s more like play not to lose, rather than play to win. Gave to buy flash card and markers store al. I’ll be keeping a close eye on my son’s mental health over the next couple of years!

Gavin will have nothing up his sleeve - or at best a grubby Kleenex.

Gavin does not think that far ahead.
