BTEC is run by EdExcel (a Pearson company) and is notoriously inefficient, but you might try contacting them direct? They should issue certificates around now, so surely must know your marks, but be prepared to be passed around from pillar to post. As you've discovered, teaching staff may have...

Very self important aren't you? I'm so grateful that we have your permission to use a designated cycle path. I forget now, should we get off the roads and ride on the cyclepath, or is it bloody cyclists should stick to the road? Anyway think I'll commute right along the middle of the A259...

There are idiots in cars, on bikes and (as people seem to belatedly waking up to) on foot too. When cycling on cycle routes overseas (the bridge is part of National Cycle Route 2 and was partly funded by Sustrans), that's still what tends to happen, people walk to the right. But then most...

Actually there's not many teachers left earning much over £30k these days. Salaries get slashed year on year, especially in Further Education. Anyone entering the profession and/or from overseas certainly won't be.

As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian I welcome any move to make the roads and cycle-paths safer. However if we're going down the legislation route, how about we ALL take responsibility for our actions, including pedestrians? Many countries have jaywalking laws; here pedestrians have priority on...

BBC Gossip column today suggesting that having signed Angus Gunn, Southampton may let Fraser Forster out on loan. His technique isn't the best, but I'm sure Ben Roberts could work on that. He is big and strong though, an experienced version of Christian Walton, and not so long ago in the England...

To be fair, part of the problem was the powers that be forcing the College to open a year before schedule, when it was patently unready. Perhaps the Principal should have held his ground, perhaps he had no choice? The one strength that he did have was confidence in his own ability, so perhaps it...

I taught there briefly at the start - it wasn't sold to staff or students as a place for students who struggle to cope in mainstream education, instead we were presented with a glossy image of an an exciting modern college with great facilities and an elite cohort poached from other schools...
