Dear Colleagues
As we head into the last two or three weeks of the summer term, this update will provide you with all the information you need for the results period and the start of the next academic year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work. It’s once again been a great pleasure to answer your questions; talk about your coursework text choices; and to think through your teaching and learning conundrums together.
I wish you all a real rest over the long holidays and look forward to talking to you in meetings, in emails and on Facebook and LinkedIn in the new academic year.
Best wishes
Clare Haviland
