Vocational exams update. DfE very much passing the buck: “In light of the evolving public health measures, schools and colleges can continue with the vocational and technical exams that are due to take place in January, where they judge it right to do so. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

Vocational exams in England will continue as planned in January. Students taking exams should attend as scheduled.

Recap: "It is a fiction that examinations, even in normal times, provide a level playing-field. They do nothing of the sort. Now is the time to build a more nuanced assessment system": my @tes blog: buff.ly/36EULPO

Absolutely - the state needs to start respecting parents again.
