We are so proud of my DS - he had a HELLISH time in secondary- covid, health issues, bullying. He hated school and is so relieved it’s over.

He passed all his 9 GCSEs with 5s & 6s and has a place in college to do ALevels. He’s SO happy and proud!

Well done to everyone who got results today- the media only tends to focus on 9’s but hardly any of DS’s mates got 9s. Obviously massively well done to anyone who got straight 9’s but also massively well done to anyone who just passed and got enough to take them on to the next steps.

These kids are the covid year 7’s - they had a terrible start and for my DS, it has had a massive impact on his education.

They are all brilliant resilient kids 💚

Love this thread! Same as my son, had such a hard time with the school shutdown and got all 5s and 6s, his face when he got a 6 on English after not once passing it in his mocks was a picture!

My twins both got a 4 in maths. The joy and happiness on their faces when they realised! No more maths, ever, ever again in this house 🎉

Then a friend came over and opened her envelope. She has quite severe seizures and consequently missed even taking her English exams and attendance was low. She also got a 4 in maths. The tears! Then she realised she had also got 4/4 in science and, well - we were all in tears! She literally could not believe that she had passed and the joy on her face was just indescribable.

We all can't stop thinking about it!

Ah that’s amazing!! Well done to all of them 💚🎉

That’s great OP! Well done to your DS!

My DD got 6 8s and 6 7s. She worked her bum off for those grades and it didn’t come easily but she did it!
They’ve not had it easy and should all be commended for their hard work and determination 🥳

Well done to your Daughter 💚🎉

Hear hear! Congratulations to your son.

As a teacher (with multiple Y11 classes) and a parent of a Y11 student, this morning was particularly fraught, but it’s all gone nicely. 😅
