Dear Colleague
I’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to every teacher, tutor, lecturer, school and college leader for the incredible work you’ve done to support students achieving the grades they have worked so hard for this year. Despite the unprecedented circumstances of the last eighteen months, you’ve brought subjects to life in learners' homes and during this time, you have adapted, reskilled, upskilled, supported, and gone above and beyond.

Dear Learner
Huge congratulations to all of you who will be receiving your results this week. Over the last eighteen months you will have heard the word ‘unprecedented’ repeated regularly and, through these extraordinary times, I have been in awe of the resilience, fortitude, agility and determination of you all as you’ve faced the challenges and new landscape of learning head on.
Today, twelve organisations that represent and support staff and students in schools, colleges and universities have written to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson urging him to reconsider restricting students’ choice of qualifications at the age of 16.
