are calls for the A`level sxstem in Jersey to be changed. The Islands | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
Education Minister says it should be made easier for more students to sit | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the exams. In Guernsey, education officials say this | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
unique challenges for students. It comes | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
counterparts in England at @`level today. Mike Wilkins reports. | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
The envelopes that can decide the future. Today at Guernsey's grammar | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
school there were plenty of smiles as some students made the grade I | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
got three A*s, so I'm reallx happy about that. I to the an A* hn maths, | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
physics and chemistry. I'm doing physics last year. In the l`st weeks | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
we've all really wanted to know our results. To get them out of the way | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
and to get good results has made our day. | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
This year's school`leavers have had more challenges to face than | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
previous cohorts, as the changed halfway through thehr | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
studies. It is not getting dasier. The students this year, halfway | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
through the course the Government said they can no longer be lodular. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
They knew they had to move to a linear second part of the course. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
They weren't expecting that. By students in Jersey celebratdd better | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
results than those in England. I got an A*, an A and a D. I did really | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
well. Three As and an A*. An A in art, B in media studies and a B in | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
music tech. The grades are still higher than those in England. The | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
range of A`level options should change, said the Minister That's | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
difficult with five A`level providers. Some of the cohorts in | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
those schools are small, so I would like to look at that. I would also | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
like to make sure that the `ccess to A`levels is there for all the dirt | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
schools and backgrounds. Thdre could soon be more options for sttdents to | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
choose from, but on days like today it's the results that can ddcide | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
their future. A man who spent most of his | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
childhood in foster homes h`s told an inquiry into historic abtse | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Jersey that he was beaten rdgularly by two foster parents. Mich`el Laing | :02:47. | :02:49. | |

while in hospital and when he lived with a foster family over an | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
extended period of time. But he said he'd been back and forwards so | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
times, his mindset was, "Oh well, here we go again." He | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Officer or the superintendent, he didn't have a | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
with them. He said there was no one person going through my lifd | :03:49. | :03:54. | |

our Facebook page. Good evening. After the showers of | :06:05. | :06:20. | |
today, it is drier and brighter for tomorrow. Little consolation for | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
those that took part in the Battle of Flowers today. Mostly drx with | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
sunshine tomorrow. There might be showers early in the day or | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
overnight tonight. We are close enough to this line of flours | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
English Channel. Those showdrs will tend to fade away as the night wears | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
on. Just a few left behind. For most Even by the morning there's a | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
possibility of the odd 14`15 degrees. For tomorrow morning | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
we start the day with sunny spells. A few showers early in the day. But | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
from mid morning the sunshine is out. Patchy cloud. A | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
day. The winds are from the north`west, fresh at times. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Technologies no higher than 18` 9 gr Into the weekend, expect a fine day | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
on Saturday. More cloud on Sunday, with the potential for that cloud | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
particularly through the afternoon and a blustery west or | :07:24. | :07:24. | |
north`westerly wind. are very few showers around. It m!y | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
be dry Saturday and Sunday, a chilly wind, the national picture again | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
with Louise now. Many of us have been asking the | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
question, where has summer gone Today, no exception. We started off | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
with a cluster of showers across Wales and the south-west. They | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
gathered in intensity and pace as they pushed furthered east, bringing | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
localised flash flooding and hail with the thunder storms as well | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Thank you to Sarah for this photograph. I can offer you | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
something for promising into -- more promising into tomorrow, it should | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
feel quite pleasant. If you still have showers around at the moment, | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
most should fade to the coast through the overnight period. Clear | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
skies, mist and fog patches will form. Overnight, generally 9-13 | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Tomorrow starts off quiet. Fairly | :08:33. | :08:33. |
