Hello everyone, here is a shiny new thread ready for DC’s results day tomorrow and a much needed hand hold for us nervous parents. 🥴🤪

Tomorrow is the culmination of an incredibly turbulent 2 year journey that our young people have had to navigate. Fraught with ups and downs. They have done us all proud!!

Here is a link to the previous thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/secondary/4566030-current-year-11-2-more-weeks-of-exams?page=37&reply=119483572

Can someone link to the grade boundaries tomorrow when they are released please? No idea where I'd find them.

I'm on the other end - GCSE Maths teacher. I'm having a nervous gin.

Hate results eve, love results day!

hagelslaagfiend · 24/08/2022 21:15

DD is calm. I'm a bit of a nervous wreck though. She worked so hard over the lockdowns from home and revised well. I'm no good at waiting!

QueenMabby · 24/08/2022 21:11

I'm having a large gin and tonic! Am a wreck. DS is as cool as a cucumber (outwardly at least!).

8am on the school portal for us although school is open 8am to 10.30 for results collection and photos. DS will check online before we go in.

isittheholidaysyet · 24/08/2022 21:07

Yep, I am getting very nervous. He is deep in gaming and not too bothered.
He is year 10 and home educated, so only 2 exams for us this time round, but I really hope he has passed well, as we have a lot of work left to do for yr11, and he could do without retaking or adding new subjects!

pinkroseapp · 24/08/2022 21:04

I need distractions!!!

DS’ results can be only picked up in person from 9am. I have booked a day off, will drive him to be there at 9am. He is not worried but I am very much worried.

DD is also taking her mind off it tonight packing for Reading. I’ve been instructed to wake her at 9am tomorrow and we will be at school for 10am to collect her results. She wants as little time to think about it as possible.

Restless DD this eve - about to start watching some random series to distract :)

NameInUseAlreadyAgain · 24/08/2022 20:57

Hi all. Not long now. 12 hours and 3 minutes for us !

SherwoodForest · 24/08/2022 20:56

I'm also waiting for results tomorrow. I posted elsewhere but no response. Does anyone know what to do if you have accepted provisional offers from three sixth forms? We won't know until after results which one DD is likely to be accepted at. When do we tell the others she is not accepting?

Kendodd · 24/08/2022 20:55

Can I join!
I have to admit neither me nor my child are the least bit worried, what will be, will be.

Moosey1969 · 24/08/2022 20:50

Good luck everyone. DH said tonight I've done well not to have had a meltdown yet (there's still time)! Not sure if that's a compliment or insult 😂
DS worked today, football practice tonight, then getting ready for Reading tomorrow. I'm glad he's ok at least. Results from 8am but still waiting for him to deign to tell us what time we are going; he needs to rendezvous with friends. 🙄
Not long now and there's always another way if this one doesn't go quite to plan...

MumofSpud · 24/08/2022 20:45

Feel sick / sleepless nights / nightmares
DD meanwhile is too busy packing for Reading Festival, oh and she's at a party tonight
So at 09:00 when THE email arrives I will be lifting her tired, hungover finger up to the laptop screen so I can log onConfused
I remember these threads over the years with mums waiting for their DC to wake up!!!!
Good Luck everybody

legosunqueen · 24/08/2022 20:41

Thanks @Rollergirl11for the thread...will surely fill up quickly tomorrow!

wineandsunshine · 24/08/2022 20:39

I am going in with my DS at 10am (as long as he wakes up!).

I am praying he's passed English as he found the exam SO difficult. He then has to pop into college in the afternoon and enrol....!

Our school is releasing them on Go for schools at 9am.. I’ve had to promise not to look while ds is in their collecting his results. He’s going in with his friends.. parents have to wait in the carpark 😬

Mumski45 · 24/08/2022 20:34

The school has an online system called iSams portal which is used to record all timetables rewards exam entries and results. We have been told they will be on there at 8am. DS has a pupil login and I have a parent login. I'm assuming they will only be on the pupil one initially.

Not @Mumski45 but at DDs school all the DC have all been given special logins to access the school system called bromcom. We set up her password etc on Sunday. When we logged in, there was a space for Exam Results that was blank, and that is where they will appear tomorrow morning. The system is apparently blocked today (as they are busily loading up the results) and the block will be removed 8am tomorrow. My DS has the same system (he did some GCSEs in 2018 and most of them in 2019), only with him the lifted the block at 6am. Clearly they have decided, post pandemic, that they can't be bothered/don't want to do it that early. The school is otherwise closed - if you want advise from the exams officer or the head of sixth form, you can phone and zoom appointments are available. No possibility of going in.

ShanghaiDiva · 24/08/2022 20:26

dd collects her results tomorrow. She and dh have gone swimming and then to the cinema as a double distraction.
she can collect results from school from 9 am tomorrow.
good luck everyone!

Naem · 24/08/2022 20:26
