A request from one of our members:

I’m investigating public perceptions of the level of culpability of children and young people involved in county lines. This research has been approved by Coventry University Ethics Committee and is completely ananymous.

Working in Jersey πŸ‡―πŸ‡ͺ where there are no barriers like Att8, at least 4 of the 12 (25%) secondary schools offer GCSE Ξ¨ to their students. I can’t help but think that if GCSE Ξ¨ was reclassified and therefore given equal weighting to Sciences & Computer Science in Att8 it would be offered more widely.

05.04.2025 14:06 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Thus reducing the popularity of GCSE Psychology as an option. So few schools offer GCSE Ξ¨ that JCQ only shows β€˜Social Sciences’ in their analysis of GCSE results, yet it is the second most popular subject choice at A level in the UK.

I wholeheartedly agree that GCSE Psychology should be classified as one of the Sciences rather than a Humanities subject. The discrepancy that it is classified as such at A Level but not GCSE means that it can be given lower value in Progress 8 & Attainment 8 calculations compared to other Sciences.

It is with great sadness that I have to share the devastating news that our beloved friend Helen Kitching passed way last night. Please be comforted to know that she was surrounded by the family that brought her such joy.
