Today's rise in cases is alarming.
Warwickshire's decision to delay is looking increasingly like they have made a huge mistake. Delaying until November is very concerning and I'm becoming increasingly worried that the new exam date may also have to be delayed.
I feel the exam needs to be sat as soon as possible. Too late now for next week, but i really think it needs to be beginning of October.
If anyone has concerns about this, you need to email the council and express your concerns
Ianbudd@warwickshire.gov.ukTake a breath, the rise in cases was the result of activity at the back end of August, hospitalisations and deaths are still very low. In fact we are now well below the five-year average for deaths.
This is an anxious time for everyone, but particularly young people going back to school after up to six months off. We have a duty to try to maintain calm, help them to adjust and not pass on our anxieties to them.
Every single child entering this system is in the same position, there will be a solution even if it is not ideal (see GCSEs and A levels). The school year will recommence again next year and children will need to be allocated to schools.
Control the controllable and try to remain calm about the rest.
