Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I know you aren't a fan of hugs (although your hug for fetch during the bedford half is a thing of legend), but sending you whatever supportive kind of thing you would like. x

GCSEs will almost certainly be based on teacher assessments now - that's what the row/announcement later is about and why it has to happen now. So hopefully that's slightly less worrying.

I'm adding supporting somethings for DocM and anyone else who needs them. That's interesting, Katie. I guess they saw the Scottish gvmt do a U turn and saw that it was likely.

I really hope the latest announcement helps some of your teens. Dread to think what is going to happen now for those that didn’t get their first choice but now have the grades.

DocM sending tons of support to you as your nightmare continues. On the plus side you know what Thursday’s results will be. Not sure that’s a good thing but hopefully it is.
