This week was Colleges Week and Love our Colleges. It is great to have weeks like this, I also want to point out that I love all of the sector, not just colleges.

It is with great sadness that we heard that 3aaa is no more... That is a lot of specialists within the sector, learners and employers who have had a very worrying evening for themselves and their families. It is a really tragic moment for the sector... Again.

You couldn't escape the Tory Party Conference in the news today. It appears my old MP Geoffrey Cox nearly stole the show, but there was plenty of exciting outcomes for the sector.

We hope you had a great week.

We hope you had a great week. Funding took centre stage again: Severe squeeze on further education and sixth-form funding in England

Well the biggest news this week for us internally at FE News, was that we launched the new FE Careers and Apprenticeship Job Search to celebrate our 15th anniversary. Have you checked it out yet?

I hope you had a great week. I have just returned from an amazing All Inclusive Holiday, problem is... I have been hitting the gym for six months to try and pull in my middle-aged spread, only to pile it all back on again on with the week's All Inclusive holiday... the injustice! Back to the gym again!

This week we saw A Level and BTEC results released this week, entries into STEM subjects continue to rise and we have a budding bunch of Mathletes (with Maths retaining the title as the most popular A Level).

It's a revolution baby! Well, Education Secretary Damian Hinds has challenged the tech industry to launch an education revolution for schools, colleges and universities... exciting stuff!
