Y11 2023/24 thread 5 - results!

my dd got a grade lower then expected at maths …. She’s had two years of private lessons as well as classes at school so we were expecting the higher grade.
she’s still passed that’s the main thing.

Results could be collected from 8:00 at our school, got there 8:20ish.... Collected envelope and told to go speak to deputy head (aaaah!!!!)
45 minutes waiting outside his office

Got in there and told he didn't meet the usual criteria for entry but due to high scores in what he wanted to study they would offer him a place anyway.

He went on to say why he didn't meet criteria and it turns out they had made a mistake and hadn't included one of his GCSEs on the spreadsheet...so he did actually meet criteria and we didn't need to go speak to him.

Off we toddled to enrolment and luckily his friendship group are all moving up to sixth form too.

Ok so Ds is still inside but he's sent me a picture of his results sheet. All good in sciences and maths, he's still waiting for his history results which is why he's not out.

Mediocre results here. Has enough to do the A levels he wants, fingers crossed.
Enrolling today.

My DD got all she needed to get into her chosen 6th form. Maths was low but she expected that. Out of interest how did others DC do in Maths?

DS has just woken up and got into the shower.

I think his friends will be long gone at school and he’ll be collecting his results with the year 10s who aren’t allowed in until 10.30.

I’m very impressed by how spectacularly unbothered he is!

Oh and congratulations to everyones children here, no matter what their results.

Also, wasn't 07/08 only like... 5 years ago?! 🤔😆

DD went in at 9.15. I know they got results at 9.30am. She said she would text me but nothing yet. I'm going out of my mind. On the plus side, I've been stress cleaning and have hoovered the whole house 🤣

OMG DD GOT A 9 in lit. She got a 3 in march mocks!!

Same here. Meant to be getting to school at 9:30, but he's huffing and puffing under his blanket at the indignity of having to get up earlier that 11 in the 6 weeks.

He's a bright boy but so fucking lazy it's unbelievable. Capable of 9s easy, but wouldn't be surprised if he's totally failed himself. It'll take every inch of restraint to not say I told you so if that's the case.

Gosh @chickletickle I feel your stress.
DD1 was in a similar position, not a private school but her state school requirements to keep her 6th form place and minimum 8's for her A Level choices, 6 years ago and I still remember the pressure not to drop the ball on any one of them.
Good luck to her and to everyone's DC today.

All good here too except Lit and Lang which were a bit disappointing.

We are back, he got 2 out of 3 that he needed, but I am unsure of what happens now. He has to go to enrollment in college on Tues, so i'm hoping they'll still let him on the course and resit the maths that he needs. He had a b in physics, merit in engineering and needed a c or above in maths, but got an e, i'm gutted for him.

DD very disappointed. Was predicted a 7 for Eng Lit/Lang but got a 5 which is a massive shock to her and she worked incredibly hard!
Passed everything, has been accepted onto chosen A levels, but I think she has hoped for As in there, but has a mix of high/low B grades, which was actually a shock to both of us

DD went in ages ago planning to come out and open in the car but hasn’t come back. Really worried now as I’m sure she’d message me if good

Sat waiting. Loads have kids have come out, mixed bag of happy and sad

Feel sick. Worried poor results as taking so long.

Horrible time, horrid atmosphere, not sending you stupid hugs, but telling you it will be over and you will survive through all of this - my own experience, due to stress, severe nose bleeds, crushing headaches and inability to sleep because of exams. Nothing helped until it was over. Tried meds, etc., but it will be over. But it will be over at some point.

😂 sorry this made me laugh. Dd only left 10 minutes ago (I’m not allowed to go with her) and it’s a 20 minute walk. She didn’t want to have to speak to other students outside her friends so is turning up a bit late. Gah they’re frustrating 😂

Ours aren't until 10. Lovely DD is the most hardworking kid you could meet, she has to be to overcome her learning disabilities.
God I hate this!

Mostly happy here!! All really good but he was disappointed by English Lit - got a 5 after 2 comfortable 7s in his mocks. 3 marks off a 6 so maybe we should ask for a remark?? Got an 8 for English Lang though so overall good!!

DS done well but less than mocks and on some less than predicted - looking at you drama. Weirdly overperformed in maths and got 9. He is a bit deflated but ok. A couple are a couple of marks off the higher grade boundaries but he doesn't want to review.

No sign of DS even waking up yet 🙄

Non for my children but my nephew .. expeted to do very well but we will see

Also Ukranian boy who has been living with us since April 2022. He only started learning English then but sat his exams having worked extremely hard. I think he will do well given the limitations but frankly we are dead proud if him just for sitting them at all

Everything crossed for them both. DD got A leve results last week so a bit of a roller coaster here

Waiting for D's to come out with his, he's been inside 20 minutes. I know he was worried about English, just hope the rest are good.

999888665 and A in Additional Maths.

We're happy apart from English where she got 6 and 5. She hated her English teacher and this showed. Art is fine at 6, reflective of her slacking for her portfolio in year 10.
