No backup 6th form here either. No chance of taking A levels in her school, so it's move to another school (she didn't like any of them), or go to the new, custom built Sixth Form college. They require 6 GCSEs at C or above. She's already got 3 under her belt. (A, A, B) and is predicted As and As for the rest.
She veers between wanting a lift (but stay in the car, Mum) to get her results, or saying that she'll walk. She also says she'll go in, get her results and go home to open them, hopefully avoiding her friends. She's always struggled a bit with friendships, although she has made several friends. She doesn't put the time into seeing them as she can't be doing with any fall outs between people, so keeps herself out of the loop a bit. But then feels a bit left out. She can't WAIT to see the back of a certain few kids who have really leaned on her support but not given very much back in return.
I'm just nervous about any fall out if she doesn't live up to her own exacting standards. She worked bloody hard all year. But there were tears in her eyes when she only got an A instead of an A* in numeracy. And full on floods of tears when she got a B in Eng lit.
On top of that, I didn't twig that Welsh Bacc (a separate subject) is compulsory. So when she chose 4 A level options for her provisional application, it means 5 inc the Welsh Bacc. Which was viewed as 'ambitious' when she went for the A lev college induction day.
She wanted to do Eng, Eng lit, Psychology and History. She desperately wants to write for a living (or have a job that uses writing if she can't write books) and thinks she really needs Eng and Eng lit. She's interested in Psychology. So thinks that it's History that will have to go. But until recently, History teacher was her backup plan. I don't envy her the choice.
