If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades.
Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.
Also have lots of sets of our previous KS3 set texts : Private Peaceful, Holes, Skellig, Boy in Striped PJs, War Horse, The Outsiders, Mortal Engines, Lemony Snicket, Treasure Islands, Hunger Games…
Having a clear out… anyone needing copies of ‘Of Mice and Men’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Much Ado’, ‘Merchant of Venice’, ‘Richard III’, ‘The Tempest’? Will swap for Animal Farm, Noughts and Crosses, Jekyll and Hyde @Team_English1

'We need to get a better understanding' of foodbanks, says Rishi Sunak.
What part of 'people are going hungry' does he not understand?

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

So, without telling anyone, Dave Grohl brought his giant smoker and cooked/fed barbecue and sides for 500 folks at Hope Mission in L.A. during the storms. Paid for it all. Worked 16 hours. So, when the aliens get here and ask “who’s in charge?”, I think we take them to Dave Grohl.

1. Thread on the most positive masculinity I've ever seen.
A few years ago I worked in Leicester and would stop to get a takeaway curry on Narborough Road on way home.
This was probably a Friday but can't be sure.

We are incredibly sad to hear about Brianna, and know many trans young people will be affected by this news today.

She voted against extending free school meal vouchers until Easter 2021 for families in receipt of Universal Credit or similar benefit.
Where was her care for the children then?

Do you think Johnson statement tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? If so press LIKE. If on the other hand you think it is the deluded self-serving bullshit of a disgraced lying lawbreaker press RETWEET
40mins trying to leave parking space and still not moved. Queues upon queues. Shocking lack of organisation here at @IWMDuxford
