A modern, relevant system to incentivise full participation in a multi-ability society

HEAD FACILITATORS! Has your school been forced down the A-level league table yet again this year? Were your results once more distorted by the elitist and discriminatory examining practices of the so-called educational system? After students have been crammed for exams, laboratory scans have shown that their brains are as bloated and discoloured as the livers of force-fed geese. We don't impose our Western attitudes on Africa any more, so why do we treat our own children like that?

Subscribe to the Carrford and Carrbridge Examination Board. We provide a modern, relevant evaluation system to incentivise full participation in a multi-ability society.
