Can't wait to see the Royston Vasey Institue for Pennine Cultural Studies (it's a local campus for local students only). Their term starts a little later than most HE institutions, on 31 October, but the initiation ceremonies are really brilliant (start from around 11pm, bring your own pentagram and salt circle) - and their MidSomer graduation sacrifice, ooops sorry I meant ceremony is, well, has to be seen to be believed. Just do NOT go there if you are a lone outsider from suburban Manchester, 20 miles to the west and 15,000 feet below, as, well you'll only need a single bus fare up there.
Absolutely correct.... but we are whistling in the wind with this government who do not care what the citizens who employ them want and for whom 'levelling up' is a nice soundbite already forgotten, never intended to be implemented. We need to keep politics out of education at all costs... the current mob will only ruin it like they have wrecked everything else that they have meddled in.
