Thread 25 - Covid Cohort - Christmas Trees, No Omicron Please!

[OrangeCinnamonCocktail]

This is a thread for supporting all young people post GCSEs 2020, regardless of their educational setting. It is respectfully requested that all are supportive and helpful to each other. If you want to start a debate, e.g state vs private, please don't within this thread. Please also be sensitive when responding to posts about grades.

Some of us have been here since first thread back in yr10, some will be new. Everyone has been friendly and helpful in the past. Everyone is welcome. It is hoped this goodwill continues.

Our DS/DD may go down various paths (such as employment, apprenticeships, higher ed) We have decided, for anyone interested, they will most likely find us within the Further Ed board.

Thanks for the new thread! Busy day with work etc.

Lots of covid at school and kids not being sent home or asked to wear masks when their siblings have tested positive so next 3 days are going to be fun.

DD just put on her mask in class for the day. Her young teacher has covid with chest infection developed and struggling so both teachers in that subject sick and so they have subject teachers left so teaching themselves for next 3 days.

@Heifer Congratulations and snap! DD also got an offer for Nottingham :) Someone in the Biology department must have been working late tonight.

Thanks for the thread.

Congratulations Heifer & Marigold. Someone must be working very late.

Brilliant BM!

Congratulations to everyone who got offers today. DS has just the 1 offer so far but application has been acknowledged by 3 other choices but has heard nothing back from Nottingham yet. Do they interview for maths degrees or is it just certain subjects?

Congratulations @BlueMarigold

And DS makes 3! Nottingham biology AAB. Yes, I did prod him to check

Brilliant news @EwwSprouts!

I do like Nottingham. I wish DD had applied there. Congratulations to all the offer holders.

Well done to the latest lot of offers.

Anyone applied to Durham without stating a college? When have they been asked to select them? DS tells me he hasn’t been asked to select yet but that surprises me. He is absolutely shattered this week though so I am not going to push it.

Aww, congrats on the Nottingham offers: fingers crossed for another one soon @Nard75!

@20newnames DD stated a college on her durham application but they will send out the options ranking for colleges once offer has been made so I assume late Jan or feb

Congrats on the Nottingham offers - lots of staff trying to get offers out before end of the week

Is that all our Nottingham Biology applicants on the same day?! Well done all!

Newcastle interview here too for January, Manchester interview tomorrow.

Congrats @BlueMarigold and @EwwSprouts
