Thanks Lonicera. DDs school is a comp too, and the sixth form just asks for Cs I think to get in, which is fairly standard I think for a sixth form that doesn't really offer BTECs properly (I think people wanting to do them do lessons at a nearby college, but most just go to the college anyway). The school generally does really, really well and the sixth form is very new, so possibly still finding its feet a bit.
I don't think school would publish a list names of DC achieving As like that - they don't officially even publish the end of year prizes or anything (I only know there were some because they were on a power point I saw for end of term arrangements). I know that the school results page named a couple of DC who had exceptional A level results, but actually don't know if they were the only ones iyswim or just ones that were happy to be named. I know DD would hate for people outside of family or teachers to know her results, however good. I saw some schools in the local press even saying what university some (named) DC were going to, and what they would be studying. Funnily enough I remember seeing another school's A Level press release last results day naming one boy, his results and what he was going to study. He is no longer named on the website, and I wondered if he or his parents had asked for it to be removed (others are still there).
Anyhoo. I have work to do, so will definitely try to stop thinking about it all now. I think I just want to know that DD is going to be OK, and only time will tell. I should also give her credit for being more robust than I think she is. She's already being circumspect about lots of her friends results (X said she'd work harder but didn't, Y was really anxious, and didn't cope with the exams, Z was doing the subjects her parents wanted, not what she was actually good at etc.) so I'm sure it will all be fine!
Must stop worrying!!!
