Waiting outside school...feel sick and need the loo!

KingscoteStaff · 23/08/2018 09:01

Reservoir and Aways well done -so happy for you!

We picked up results in the Heathrow Short Stay carpark:
9 for Maths
8 for Geography + History
A star for Music, Eng Lit, RS, Chemistry + Physics
A for Eng Lang, French + Biology

He is incredibly relieved! Now eating vast amounts of toast, then heading out to buy an air bed for Reading!

Well done Majestic and always and mummy - I expect there will be some curved balls with marks but always worth checking.

Sat outside school while she waits to go in. Teachers all arriving as well

TeenTimesTwo · 23/08/2018 09:04

Good luck to all DC. I am half way through our GCSE cycle. 3 years ago DD1 got her results, and 3 years until DD2.
If they don't get what they need, then other doors will open after the initial disappointment.

KickBishopBrennanUpTheArse · 23/08/2018 09:05

Well done kingscote's ds. So many fantastic results here. I hope it's a good omen for the rest of us.

androbbob · 23/08/2018 09:06

Fab results kingscote made up for you!

They have now gone into school 🙈

Trufflethewuffle · 23/08/2018 09:07

DD is very nervous this morning. I'm taking her in to collect them at 10.

She says she's coming back to the car to open them as she doesn't want to get caught up in the ohmygodders.

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 09:09

Veiled negotiate! They want the funding!

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 09:12

kigscote hurrah! Congrats to your DS Smile

sandybayley · 23/08/2018 09:16

@KingscoteStaff - hurrah! I think he deserves a luxury air mattress after those results.

Cherryburn · 23/08/2018 09:16

Kingscote fantastic! Well done him.

TheThirdOfHerName · 23/08/2018 09:26

DS2 got 9999998888 and A^ in F.Maths. Really pleased for him.

KingscoteStaff · 23/08/2018 09:32

Yes TheThird - brilliant!

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 09:33

Wow, wow, wow! Ours are going to be a bit more normal and more of an anti climax by the time we can finally get them. Such good news for you all so far.

MajesticWhine · 23/08/2018 09:34

That's amazing TheThird - congratulations

androbbob · 23/08/2018 09:35

Got ours - 8 and 3 x 7 and 3 x 6 and a 5 and a 4 and a B

LooseAtTheSeams · 23/08/2018 09:36

Third Star amazing!
DS got 3 9s - English x2 and computing! Art was a 5 after all that nagging!! Relieved he got 8 in maths as well so the A level looks fine.

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 09:37

As further proof of how well all of your DC have done, a grand total of 732 DC across the country received straight grade 9s.

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 09:38

Androbbob Smile Star Smile Star Smile

Twistofanxiety · 23/08/2018 09:39

Just off to collect them now.

Cherryburn · 23/08/2018 09:42

DS just called....9 in Maths, 7 x A*, 1 A.

I am beyond delighted for him!

Well done TheThird, fantastic results.

KingscoteStaff · 23/08/2018 09:42

Well done Loose and Androbbob - that’s what they needed for 6th form, isn’t it?

JugglingFromHereToThere · 23/08/2018 09:42

Reasonably good news here!
Back in for sixth form with a mix of 6's and 5's, one 7, one 3 ( French)
Nice to chat with him on phone from Italy where he seems reasonably pleased and is having a good time!

Slight negotiation with school on whether he continues plan to do Theatre Studies ( with a 5 for Drama) or switches to Physics(6)
To go with Music (6) and Maths (7)

Cherryburn · 23/08/2018 09:43

And to you Androbbob, my fellow early riser!

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 09:43

Omg! Those are some amazing results! third 👍👍
