  In July 2017 I was awarded a temporary promotion to Senior Statistician. This led to additional responsibility as statistical lead on research projects and increased interaction with senior staff, where management of expectations regarding the available data/evidence was at the forefront of the role. I have lead on the statistical elements of research into early and multiple entry, which was published in October 2017. Currently I am working on research investigating the decline in GCE entries over time and the use of non-examined assessment as a feature of general qualifications. I have a lead role in preparing for our first release of a number of Official Statistics publications in 2018, the most prominent of which is the review of marking release that is due to be published in December.
