yeah my bad, only Pearson do btec.
thanks. He's neevous enough as it is, so we'll tell him in the morning.
in any case it's his science that's the biggest worry! how can someone competent at maths struggle in science I ask you!
anyway there are always options and second chances of you're willing to work for them.
good luck to anyone else with results out

He should be alright regarding anything portfolio/vocational based, so try and reassure/encourage him that he will get his merit/distinction. Not easy times for anyone getting results. They usually are nervy moments as it is but with the shitshow that has been on display recently this is a fairly unique moment. Hopefully there will never be a moment fuck up like this again.

Brilliant, delighted for you and him. Is he doing the C6 football programme? Heard really good things about that (some of my eldest's mates did it and loved it)

Excellent. Well done. My eldest got through all her GCSE and is now on to the next stage going to Bristol to study Event Production BTEC. Massively relieved and proud.

Astonishingly*, it turns out that a firm run by mates of Gove and Cummings was awarded a contract without tender to "advise" Ofqual on the A-level grades fiasco, in June. That's on top of the £840k this same firm was given by Gove's cabinet office to research the public's attitude toward the govt's handling of COVID and the £116k they got from the Dept of Health to "lock in the learning" of the mistakes made in dealing with COVID. Again, all without tender, obviously. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/aug/20/firm-linked-to-gove-and-cummings-hired-to-work-with-ofqual-on-a-levelsSo at least somone is doing well out of these serial fuck-ups. Cummings learned lots of useful things while he was "working" in Russia for 3 years didn't he? It's not quite Putin levels of corruption, but give them time they've only been in office for just over a year. * This may be sarcastic
