GCSE results day

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

Just waiting for DS2 to get ready and make his way to school to collect his results

He’s incredibly nervous as he needs 6 or above in English, Maths, History, PE and Science

I just want this to be over and for him to have the results

Anyone else waiting anxiously?

🙋🏼‍♀️

Yep, dd and I have to be there at 9 (leaving soon) I'm not as worried as I was when the algorithm was making the choice though!

She's already got her college place, shes just hoping shes passed maths so she doesnt have to resist (was predicted a 5/6)

DD had hers emailed at 8am.
Even had going to school to collect her results taken away from her
Results were as predicted but even though we're happy, I think she'll always be miffed she couldn't take her exams and that they won't feel real.

Waiting for ds2 to rise here. Got to drop him off at 9:30 and he will walk home.

Feeling very nervous🥺

We're leaving at 9.30, DS is tense though he should be ok.
TBH I just want it to be over

Yep, I'm waiting anxiously too. Ds is going in at 9.30, doesn't want us to go with him so I've told him to ring as soon as he opens the envelope!

DD getting the email at 9 i think. Hopefully she'll remember to come and show us before she videocalls all her friends.

Email due to arrive around 9 here. DS is relatively calm, DH and I are beyond nervous!

Can't believe I'm on my 3rd DC to reach age 16 & this is first time I've ever gone to a Results day event. DC1: too lazy to go. DC2: DH took her.

Pretty sure will get results he needs, the agony this morning seems to be about how DS should dress. I have no opinions, it's all in his head!

My son was meant to have his emailed to him an hour ago.

Still waiting..

ds got his at 8am...did far better than expected as he had had v. poor m.h during mocks and his grades were dreadful

ended up with 8 passes at 5/6 and a merit in BTech. Bloody relief.

God I remember my results day. Brilliant day, so exciting.

Google issues are affecting results emails. Email due in at 8am. Still waiting. Some of her friends have results. Most don't.

Anyone else having this issue?

School just issued a statement to say please be patient. It's so crap. Appreciate its Google so beyond school/gov control but again, no contingency plans to collect results.

OP your DS is so lucky he can go to school to collect results!

My friends school has computer problems and the kids are all standing around waiting for their results

(They do use Google classroom but wouldn't think that should matter)

Ds has just left to get his. I'm really hoping the grades reflect the hard work he put in after his mocks.

We're going to collect DS's results at 11:30. He's unbelievably relaxed about the whole thing but I'm an anxious wreck. It'd be worse if we were waiting for the algorithm grades though as DS would be a prime candidate for downgrading, we were so relieved on Monday!

I am no longer nervous 😁. DS got good results - pretty much his original predictions. He's happy and he's got his college place.

Good luck to everyone.

Very relieved here 7s/8s and a 9. She's one of the top achievers and is going to be in the paper who!

Does anyone know - will they be told their teacher predicted grades AND the algorithm grades?

Chicchicchicchiclana, that would be interesting to see actually. Dd is in a very underprivileged school in a deprived area, her and 1 other girl have always been top since primary (the other girl got all 9s and 8s) so wonder how the algorithm would have fared.

We were due results ‘from’ 8am but had the Gmail outage issue. Came through at 9.20. Not a stellar performance which is zero surprise but he’s got what he needed, thankfully!

@Chicchicchicchiclana

Does anyone know - will they be told their teacher predicted grades AND the algorithm grades?

DS hasn't and I would assume that will be the same across all schools for fairness.

DD got hers, she got handed 1 set I presume the school had chosen the ones that gave the better result.
