We considered this idea a couple of years ago but dropped
it on other grounds, not least of which was the extra
effort involved in setting it up. But we felt we would not
have a particular problem with assessment as we get most of
our one-year pgt assessment pass lists out in time for a
ceremony either side of Christmas.
I would be interested to see a general view on the value of
such ceremonies.
