Yay sost (especially Geography!)

Great results all round at DS's school. I think they are waiting for the table!

Well done everyone - sorry not time to catchup with all results - Sost - amazing results (well done to your DGD) and Chicken what a

I cried. He worked so hard. Our DC are all amazing.

But my biggest grin of the day is for @Sostenueto DGD's 9 in Geography.

Now need to book fancy dinner celebration.

@sandybayley really pleased for him

Well done to everyone - too many to name check. Some great results. Especially pleased to see AlwaysHiding's dd's results given the challenges she has faced this year

Dd only did 9 GCSEs (did one last year making 10) and passed all of them including Chemistry which she was convinced she had failed - got a 5 in that (which perhaps made it one of the most pleasing results). Overall she got 2 x A/8, 3 x A/7, 3 x 6 and 1 x 5 and she is delighted. Very pleased since with dyslexia and working memory issues she has difficulty remembering vast swathes of information for exams, so as far as I am concerned she's excelled. We had a bit of a laugh at the rather surprising A in English literature, especially when she texted her Aunt to tell her and realised that she had spelt 'literature' incorrectly

Some fantastic results everyone and a special congrats to Sostenuto dd for her Geography 9!

southnownorth well done on the Maths - the hard work paid off.

eve a brilliant result!

Congratulations on everyone’s results! It doesn’t matter if they’ve got all 9’s and A*s, or if they 2s, 3s or 4s. They’ve all worked hard for what they have got and all results are equally as important. I think they all deserve a treat after this!!!

Glad most people seem happy with their results.

DS was amazing. 11 9's and an A*^ in further maths!

hmc snap! On the chemistry - I think DS is very relieved as well. He really tried but just couldn’t remember it. We think his 7 in physics is due to being able to do maths rather than have to try and remember everything.
Southnow huge congratulations on that maths result, I can well imagine how much that means!

Sandy and hmc fantastic results.

hmc your post made me laugh-my dyslexic DS spelled Geography wrong in his text to me!

Korma and sandy - fab results

DD is safely in to 6th form. We are very pleased with her results, mixture from A to C (or equivalent).

Like previous posters, dyslexia plays its part but she worked so hard and deserves to be thrilled.

Well done to everyone else's DC.

adrinkofwater that's excellent! Congratulations to him.

Some brilliant results here - well done to all. Glad to hear about Sost's DGD's 9!

DD got nine grade 9s in History, Maths, Biol, Chem, Physics, RS, English Lang and Lit and French. And - sod's law, since it was the one I posted ages ago that she'd be disappointed in if she missed the 9 - she got an 8 in Art. Perfectly happy though because something v weird happened in the moderation and the school is appealing the lot. So we'll see, but incredibly minor in the scheme of things :)

Did nobody's kids just do okay??

Wow just seen yours adrinkofwater - hugely impressive!

Amen to that SnowyAlps.

Definitely the same issue for dd Loose - what a relief it will be to not to do Chemistry again

Cherry - got to love them . Didn't they do well!

Dd got a 9 for English Lang and then a 'D' next to it. Does anyone know what this means?

@goodbyestranger -brilliant. Well done that DD!
