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 threads about grades. It's all relative!

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 will continue.

Our DS/DD may continue down various pathways ( employment, apprenticeships, higher ed) We have decided for anyone interested they will find a thread within the Further Ed board.

Possibly a move to Parent of Adult Children Board in future? Post Results?

Thanks for the birthday greetings. I didn’t wish for this, tho I am loving it. I wished for a B and 2 Cs, which is even sadder! Hope telling doesn’t jinx it!

So if Boris gets his way there may not be an education secretary when our results come out! Not sure whether it makes a difference, whether any U-turns will be needed!

@OrangeCinnamonCroissant we only have 24 posts left, racing through again!

Oh Bums on both accounts. We might need to start campaigning again don't want another summer of misery like post GCSEs the lack of leadership was shocking . Am on it for next thread. Don't expect a snazzy title got up at 6am to take Hayfever tablet then slept in until 9.50 ! So drowsy .

Oh so we have James Cleverley - for now...

Happy birthday @Zebracat hope you've had a nice day. Well done to @Horace123 and @HoneyMobster you can breath :-)

@shimy re those going through adjustment, I think it's similar to clearing in that the student needs to phone up to talk re the course beforehand and then they can let you know if they will make you an offer before you actually turn down your firm/insurance, although it's not binding it's not going in blind either.
I didn't realise re clearing that you did need to phone up to talk to them, I thought you applied online first, but it seems you can't apply until after 3.00pm (have I read that right) but you can start phoning up asap and get a feel. Please let me know if I've read that wrong - have to admit to not having watched the videos yet - will look at it more closely in a few weeks time. Haven't even mentioned to DD yet that clearing is open. Just want her to relax and forget all about it. She got back this afternoon from Spain and is currently having a nap before we watch Love Island..
