My beloved late dad would be SO proud of his gc 💙

Bless you ( and him). Mine too. Died January 2004. Never even knew I got to have a baby after all my IVF ( plus, he wanted boys, yet got identical twin girls!😈🤦‍♀️.. he’d have loved my two DS and all the laddy stuff ).

Your lovely Dad will be proud of them, wherever he is 💕💕💕x

Dh and I will be waiting in the car park.
Older dd will be travelling home from the airport.
Very best of luck to all our lovely dc.
They've had a hard road to go down (as have we!)
And thank you all for your company these past few months.

Our school doesn’t open till 10am and no online option so not ideal.

Oblomov25 · 20/08/2025 21:57

Blimey, couldn't work out where you all were!

swampwitch0 · 20/08/2025 22:00

No online option here either.
Either pupil or nominated person has to pick up.

Mycatismad · 20/08/2025 22:01

Hi my daughter needs 6s to do the a levels she wants, no plan b as she hated the other 6th forms she went to view, slightly terrified and want tomorrow over with

ImpracticalMagic · 20/08/2025 22:02

Joining in. Dd1 had her IGCSE & Diploma results on Tuesday, and waiting nervously for the others tomorrow. She's set to go to college for A Levels in September & has worked so hard, so really hoping she gets the results she needs for college

Anyone on here expecting low numbers? Child has SEND and a lot of issues at school which has resulted in poor support and low grades in mocks. Very proud they actually sat the exams with everything going on. We are just hoping for some numbers on the paper. Already been accepted onto a course at a local college with steps in place to further education and get where they need to be.

We’re in a similar situation, be nice to see some numbers and not u’s but what will be will be. Heading to enroll at college straight after for a life skills course, aiming for a level of independence at some point.
Good luck to your child tomorrow

Hi, yes, me. DS is ASD/ ADHD ( AuDHD), has had bullying through this whole education and we are hoping and praying for 4 Grade 4 ‘s for him to go to college to do Level 3 BTec…. It will be close. I guess you are similar?

How is your DC feeling tonight? Sending you a big 🤗 for 🍀.

Oblomov25 · 20/08/2025 22:05

Ds2 announces tonight he needs a 7 in Maths aswell, to do PE, Biology and Chemistry. And that he's never actually got a 7 in maths before, always been 1 mark off it.
How did I not know all of this? And finding out last minute? 🙄

Dh took ds2 out again to his massive work site, drove 1/2 a mile, and says that he's a nice little driver, clutch control getting better, too hard on himself. So pleased.

We go to school tomorrow at 9am for the 'Brown envelope'.

Sisublondie · 20/08/2025 22:14

Ummmmm, what’s this “ place marking” I have no apparent knowledge of?! 🤷‍♀️😈🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😈!!

swampwitch0 · 20/08/2025 22:17

@Oblomov25
Dd told me a couple of evenings ago that maths paper 2 and geography paper 2 were "bad".
She felt most others went ok.
🤷‍♀️
I'll just be glad when we know

Oblomov25 · 20/08/2025 22:19

Yeah sorry, knew @QueenMabbywould never let us down, just couldn't find you. Thanks QueenMabby as always.

Snap for our DD too.

BTECnewbie · 20/08/2025 22:31

We’re praying for 4x4s as well including Maths and English. English could go either way.

Sisublondie · 20/08/2025 22:48

Remember the original “4 x 4” Club in, what was it, the first thread?! I might bastardise some of the left over 80th Confetti balloons I’ve got left over from my Mum’s birthday .. because if DS gets his 4 x 4, I’m sure he won’t stand under the awful one at his school! 🎈💣

That’s me, now. Just want to be out out of misery…

Do you know what some new posters are referring to, the place marking??

I remember the horror we spoke of, with the Maths paper 2 . I’m pretty sure DS is holding out zero hope with Geography paper 2. Mind you, it was paper 1 with the badly worded question re field trip that kicked that all off 🤦‍♀️..

What will be, will be ! 🤯🤯🤯😹

swampwitch0 · 20/08/2025 22:57

@Sisublondie
Yes. Its just posting or posting an emoji so you don't lose the thread

swampwitch0 · 20/08/2025 22:58

Dd missed the geography field trip 😞
She just wasn't well enough to go 😕

Sisublondie · 20/08/2025 22:59

Ahhhh, thanks! Gotcha! I do that anyway, click on “ I’m on”!! …. Cheers!!! 😻

Heylittlesongbird · 20/08/2025 22:59

I've found today hard as I do a bit of invigilation at the school and consider the EO a friend now. It's hard knowing she knows!

DC says it's like the day before Christmas or a Birthday, when the day goes so slowly, but perhaps without a nice present at the end.

Anyway, I'm here with my mind whirling around, the most nervous of everyone.

DC needs a 7 in maths and 6's in combined science and DT to carry on with A levels. Haven't made a plan B. But school are great, so I think they'd make one with us tomorrow if necessary.

We are allowed in from 9.30 and traditionally parents go in as well.

I genuinely don't really remember caring like this about my GCSEs. They were back in the 80s and I think they just turned up in an envelope in the post one day. It wasn't until A levels that we went in to collect.

Anyway, sorry for gatecrashing, good luck everyone.
