    He wouldn’t understand the algorithm anyway. He set what he wanted at the start (similar results, independent schools not to be disadvantaged) and expected it to be done.

    It would be interesting to find out where these were. Did some schools get wind of the fact the algorithm wouldn’t be applied to small cohorts? If they did then this would explain how the bigger cohorts got graded down so substantially to fit in the normal distribution of grades.

    When I did ours for Maths I believed that OFSTED would want to come and see justification for what we awarded. I would actually welcome this especially if we were to end up having to do something similar for the next cohort.

    What should have happened is that Ofqual/OFSTED/HMI should have been in schools ratifying and cross analysing these submissions months ago. A lot of schools have done a huge amount of quality assurance on these grades to make them as fair as possible. No doubt some schools will have taken...

    I really hate the patriotism argument in general - right wing nutters love to exploit that narrative to do and say some pretty horrible things.

    I agree - he failed to come out fighting on the AS issue which was hugely inflated so it could be used as political capital, and allowed a narrative to take hold - then compounded by the Brexit intransigence.

    Because they didn’t hear about the Russian involvement in the Tories through Facebook/Papers/BBC.

    But the biggest failing of Labour in allowing the Tories that extra 1% is not realising that it almost exclusively came from the ‘red wall’ - Labour ignored what their voter base wanted, and their membership didn't and still doesn’t reflect the same demographic.

    So now the talk is about delaying the GCSE results on Thursday. Assume they wouldn’t do this unless they were considering a change. EDIT: Apparently they are doing full u-turn now.

    Call for parliament to not be in recess during the worst crisis to face our country for a generation. At least when it’s refused it’s looks like he’s tried to do something.

    Maybe call out the pathetic track and trace, our failure to control the spread of the virus whilst we quarantine people returning from countries that have far better control than us.
