Exciting news for teachers of AQA #ALevelMaths, Further Maths and #CoreMaths - there are now shadow papers available for the 2025 series, on myAQA (the password protected bit) ๐Ÿฅณ Same questions, but slightly different numbers and answers. Good for mocks or retests/follow up to mocks.

If other unis could provide accommodation for the whole degree like most of the Oxford colleges do, that would be a big help. Paying for 52 weeks of rent for accommodation needed for only 30 weeks is a pain.

I could never manage to survive for more than a few seconds on the 2nd level back in the day. Fantastic music though. Maybe it is worth another go

I think that Scotland's pro-EU position is partly because they have more of a functioning democracy and therefore didn't have the same desire to 'stick it' to the politicians. But that is just me connecting some dots.

No one can ever be as cool as the woman cheering for Brexit in Sunderland in 2016.

My main thought is this: don't go to school if you are ill because then you make other people ill and we lose more school days overall than the one you decided to keep in order to try to do better on this silly chart.

Yes, the secretary of state appoints members of JCVI so if they happen to want to appoint some nutters then we have a problem.

We seem to be in the Hollande phase that the French had 10+ years ago (left wing government in power for the first time in a while, promised growth that didn't really come, uncharismatic leader and previous major parties disintegrating).

Composite image made up of 6 frames, 
2 images wide by side repeated 3 times, zooming in further on the faces each time.
On the left, a woman holds her hand in the air to attract attention while kneeling next to a man who has fallen down clutching his chest,
on the right, a serious-faced man holding a briefcase

Woman:  Y a t'il un docteur ici?.
Man: Je suis docteur. Que se passe t'il?
Woman: Une attaque cardiaque !
Man: Je suis docteur en philosophie !
Woman:  Il va mourir...
Man: Nous allons tous mourir.

Translation in English: 
Woman: Is there a doctor here?
Man: I am a doctor, what happened to him? 
Woman: - a heart attack
Man:  I am a doctor of philosophy
Woman:  He's going to die...
Man: We're all going to die

Trusting the good judgement of Trump's cronies to decide what is offensive and what is defensive

She got a D in A level maths, back in the modular era when you could re-take modules over-and over, and cram for 1/6 of the course before such exams.

I remember packing friends into our dining room to play this. I got 5.0 on the free skating this Christmas which I was pretty chuffed with.
