Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.
At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.
The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

The word "ungrading" is an active present participle. It doesn't mean "not grading." Ungrading acknowledges the existence of grades and invites systemic critique, an undoing or thoughtful dismantling. Not best practices, but fluid, contextual practices to push against an insidious culture of grades.
