New thread as no 4 is nearly full

@Pharos well done to your son x

BlackBean2023 · 22/08/2024 08:43

Mixed bag of grades here 98877764444
4's in all three sciences and MFL. 6 in maths (she got a 3 in her mock so we're happy with that!)

She's carrying on with 4 subjects she got 9877 in so she's not fussed

I might go back to bed!

TinfoilTangerine · 22/08/2024 08:29

That's great news Pharos. Well done to your DS

Pharos · 22/08/2024 08:27

Happy birthday @JessyCarr!
Good luck all, ds v happy. Comfortably into sixth form and results better then he expected. He's most happy about the subjects where he got higher than his 3 other siblings 🙄😁 Only a couple of marks off a higher grade in three subjects but he doesn't want them reviewed.
Now to get him to Reading where some of the girls in the group have saved him a space.

As for going out tonight, apparently it is a night for friends not parents 😭

Just dropped DD off. Everyone else seems to be going in with their parents but DD has told me she doesn't want me to come in and I'm to stay in the car.

Feel sick. I've asked her to text me a smiley face if she's got into the sixth form - grades are secondary...

My DD has said the same. We don't leave until 9am.

I've been up most of the night and feel really sick. It is stupid and I've been here before but it is different with DD.

@wlv12 that is lovely that his history teacher had belief and that he did as well. Have everything crossed for him.

Midnightstar76 · 22/08/2024 08:21

Morning, good luck to all the kids collecting results. DD is up and ready I think she has forgot we can’t go until 10.00 as we can’t collect until then. I am remaining in the background there if she needs me as DH just said we can’t even breathe around her today. Really hoping she gets a 4 in her English.

FerminRomeroDeTorres · 22/08/2024 08:18

Just checked the CCEA grade boundaries and they’ve only put up a small number of subjects - none of which DD has taken. Grrrr. Really wanted to see one subject in particular before we collect results as it would give some indication of whether she’s still on target for her Astar or not. (She did one unit last year and then coursework through the year so we have 75% of her marks already)

BlackBean2023 · 22/08/2024 08:18

She's into sixth form! I'm still not allowed to leave the car so no news on actual grades yet

Countrylife2002 · 22/08/2024 08:12

I think Keir Starmer didn’t get great GCSEs if I remember correctly. Also not top A levels. It was Uni where he flourished.

I’ve just compared last years for ds subjects and they all look higher for the 9s this year

MonkeyTennis34 · 22/08/2024 08:11

Taking DD to school.

Plan is, I will wait in the car whilst she collects results, meets up with friends and puts final touches to her IB choices (she's changed her mind upteen times over the holidays).

She is my third and last child, probably the least academic but I feel strangely calm and philosophical.

In the spirit of the message upthread re the girl who passed 3 GCSEs and is now off to Uni, regardless of the results today, they will all find their place in the world.

Good luck everyone!

AQA website updated with today's grade boundaries. Feels so real now!!!!

Does anyone know if they are high or what? I’ve not kept across the actual marks enough to know.

Countrylife2002 · 22/08/2024 08:09

Ugh. I guess I should wake dd. Results at 930 here.

From a teacher’s perspective, I’ve been up since 4, set up my classes on the results pages and nervously awaiting the results at 8.

After that, I might have some breakfast, then head in for results at 1000 in school.

Looking at some of the mark schemes for the papers, I’m hoping the kids RTFQ*!

Read the FULL/F*king question

I thought schools had the results already?

Good luck to everyone this morning!

My youngest collected hers two years ago and passed three!! She had really struggled and was later diagnosed with irlens. She worked hard but couldn't transpose what she knew into paper.

But I wanted to post and say whatever today is it does not define their future. My daughter went to a new sixth form, re sat some GCSE's alongside her level 3 btecs and was offered her first choice university last week.
Whatever they get today there are options and choices.

Thinking of you all

What a beautiful message ❤️❤️❤️
I wish your daughter every happiness and success at University ❤️❤️❤️

Smallinthesmoke · 22/08/2024 07:58

Just putting these here- it's from the TES and shows what our DC have been through to get to this point.... really puts it in some context.
Good luck all

I slept like a log (might be wine induced) until 6am, which is unusual. I'm a terrible sleeper normally.
We're all up, waiting for DS friends to collect him on the way to school.
I've just asked how he will let us know and been told he can't possibly plan that!

I didn’t sleep until about 2am. Kept running through the different scenarios in my head. The one where he exceeded his predicted grades and we were amazed, the one where he gets his predicted grades which he will be disappointed about but everyone will put a happy face on and then the one that I’m thinking is more and more possible where he hasn’t done as well as predicted. I know whatever I say in any of the scenarios will annoy him.

good luck all - we’ve still got a couple of hours to wait
