Join the Tes news team as we flick through the��latest Department for Education Covid guidance��for schools for the last week of term, when the requirement for bubbles will be dropped.

We consider whether headteachers��have been “hung out to dry” and whether they will be at loggerheads with parents if they continue to enforce bubbles rules.

We also��consider a union’s warning��that there could��be a “huge number of appeals” over GCSE and A-level grades this summer and how that could affect teachers’ holidays.��

And we talk about how geography teachers are feeling “gutted and screwed” by DfE plans to make certain topics optional halfway through the course, which could��disadvantage those students who have already covered them.

Finally, the team��looks at the 26 per cent rebate on exam fees being offered by exam board AQA and discusses why school leaders have described it as������вԲ��������ٲ�������”.
