GCSE 2022 Results - the moment of reckoning!

[Rollergirl11]

Hello everyone, here is a shiny new thread ready for DC’s results day tomorrow and a much needed hand hold for us nervous parents. 🥴🤪

Tomorrow is the culmination of an incredibly turbulent 2 year journey that our young people have had to navigate. Fraught with ups and downs. They have done us all proud!!

Here is a link to the previous thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/secondary/4566030-current-year-11-2-more-weeks-of-exams?page=37&reply=119483572

Got the results - a Distinction in BTEC and all 7s. She's so happy and hugely relieved!

I do so feel for everyone going through this!

So thankful to be long past dds’ GCSEs, As, finals.

Oh I lie, she got an 8 in Media.

@MirandaWest they are still stellar results! But I know how you feel as DD will be exactly the same if she doesn’t get what she wants or a friend does better. Heavens forbid if she doesn’t get a 9 in English lit as that is her passion and what she wants to do for uni.

I'm waiting for DD to dry her hair so we can set off for school.

I've been swimming this morning to keep my mind off it.

Congratulations to all the kids getting their results this morning.

Fab results @Graff and @CornishGem1975 !!!

DD's friend has just texted her are we getting our results today? And how?

Kids are great huh? My DDs friend thought it was Monday they were getting their results!

I was surprised that we've had absolutely zero communication from DS's school regarding arrangements for collecting results. DS on groupchat has said from 9.30 and parents are also welcome so we'll go then. I get the impression the school is glad to see the back of this year group for various reasons!

I curious why some schools are able to email yet other insist on children going into collect.

DD's operates a collect on surname time basis which means we can't collect until 11:30 🤯

What time do they appear on student email as DS can't collect in-person? School website just says "later this morning"

All passed - I am so relieved - I took a video of her opening the email but I was shaking so much!

Just looking at the grade boundaries for Eng Lit on AQQ. There are 3 options NM, PM & PN but I don’t know what they stand for - DS didn’t do poetry anthology. Any English teachers know?

Not a teacher but DS did NM and he didn’t do the poetry anthology

Waiting for my daughter to get ready. I'm more nervous than she is

@TattiePants I'd imagine the P would stand for Poetry so you would need to look at NM? M for Modern maybe?

I found this from 2021

8702/NM – 19th century novel and the modern prose/drama
8702/PM – poetry anthology and the modern prose/drama
8702/PN – poetry anthology and the 19th century novel

It will be option NM, as that’s what my son did too.

SS reset his maths so that’s the only one we’re waiting for today - he’s so laid back I feel I’m nervous for him!

As a dyslexic child he struggled with English (set 5) and passed with a C last year - the teachers didn’t get the results so his teacher rang me to find out as she couldn’t wait.

Ahhh ….. roll on 10am

Congratulations to your DS @QueenMabby

I am certainly not expecting DD to get those stellar grades.

DD has only just set off, no taking an umbrella. She's going to get soaked.

*DS not SS

My gorgeous DS is through to 6th form with a stellar set of results

Business 8
Maths 7
Biology 7
Chemistry 6
Physics 5
French 4
Eng Lang 7
Eng lit 7
History 7

Amazed at the sciences, & he genuinely didn't expect to pass French. He'll be disappointed with Business & Maths but c'est la vie.

Let the Leeds Fest celebrations begin 😂😂

All 7s and 8s. I can't believe it, I'm so relieved. He is disappointed not to get 9 in his chosen A level subjects but frankly who cares?

3 9s (including unexpectedly physics) 3 8s, 3 7s. Very happy. Onto the sixth form.

See you in two years people, to do it all over again!

My DS has just texted me and he has eight grade 9 and two grade 8. I’m amazed he got an 8 in Spanish as he really didn’t like it. He will be disappointed with his 8 in drama though!
