Molly vs The Machines, exposes the impact social media content can have on young lives.
Molly was shown harmful content online that contributed to her death.
Social media platforms must do more to protect young people from preventable harm.

📊 Nov 2025 GCSE resits:
✅ English up (37.5% 4 , now above pre‑pandemic)
❌ Maths stuck (23.2%, below 2019)
📈 More resitting
Progress is possible – but the current model, esp for maths, isn’t working for #TheForgottenThird. With reform on the table, now is the time for change.

‘Forcing students with complex needs to wait until post-16 for relevant entry level study is not inclusion by design.’
As always, @MargaretMulhol2 takes a holistic and optimistic view in this fantastic piece 👏🏻
