Always good fun to get used to new procedures at this time of year: amendments to revision support for students (will those most at need, bother to attend?); amusement at target grades derived from dubious/fictitious/"aspirational" primary school data (or more often the case in London, absent data); the odd snippet of hitherto unknown aspect of safeguard legislation (this time, same parents' fabrication of child illness, perhaps indicative of their mental illness...).
As the London demographic continues to evolve, management have already made noise about enrolment numbers, yet the spectre of "persistently absent" students continues...
