The creation of a new GCSE in Natural History has taken an important step forward.

Today, the for Education has launched a 12-week public consultation to gather feedback that will help shape the subject content for this new qualification.

Following earlier collaboration with experts and stakeholders, including ourselves, the consultation now invites wider public input. Feedback received will play a key role in finalising the content of the GCSE.

We will certainly be contributing our response and we encourage you to share your views too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv_Pechersk_Lavra
Wikipedia is already updated to convey the appalling, deranged attack on this thousand-year-old cathedral. Surely this attack was ordered by the highest level of Russian government & is an attempt to obliterate Ukrainian culture.

This is like, to bring this home to British readers, this is like the Scots (as entwined and inter-married with the English as the Ukrainians are with the Russians) bombing Westminster Abbey (no offence to the Scots intended!). Or rather, it's like the English bombing Edinburgh Castle: a crime against humanity.

Wikipedia's last paragraph today:
"On 14 June 2026, a Russian drone attack caused significant damage, as part of a targeted attack that also damaged other cultural elements in Kyiv. The damage, likely from a Geran-2 drone, included destruction of a significant portion of the roof, damage to the main dome and cupola, and significant fires within the structure. This was the first time the structure was specifically targeted as an act of war since World War II."

The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra[1][2] or Kyievo-Pecherska Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра), also known as the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, is a historic lavra or large monastery of Eastern Christianity that gave its name to the Pecherskyi District where it is located in Kyiv.

What's going on outside Wivelsfield Station?
Cables will be laid up to a new 5G mast, to be built, sadly, on Local Green Space. (LGS is supposedly protected in our Neighbourhood Plan. So much for that).
Traffic-wise, the temporary traffic lights operating before 0930 are just so that people can cross the road: they replace the usual traffic lights. From 0930 to 1430 every day, there will be a single lane closure, so things may flow less freely. This pattern should last about a week.
Pedestrians, please do not try & walk to Lidl from the post office side because you'll get stuck: cross to the other pavement before you get to Wiv bridge. Report any safety issues during these works to the Help Point so they can be addressed quickly.
