Eleanor took a Certificate in Digital Applications, an ICT subject. The grades given for this are Distinction, Merit, Credit or Pass and are equivalent to two GCSEs. She was given a Merit, which I wrongly thought was equivalent to a B, however, it's actually an A, so instead of the 1 A, 8 B's and 2 C's we thought she'd got, she's actually come out with 3 A's, 6 B's and 2 C's. She's even more over the moon with her results now.
I thought I'd better set the record straight.
All three of us went out for something to eat last night and it was really lovely. Eleanor rounded off her meal with a huge slab of chocolate fudge cake, ice cream and strawberries, a great way to celebrate.
Yay, even better!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad that you had a nice time out to celebrate! xx
ReplyDeleteIt was me who told her the Merit was a B so I feel awful now, but at least it's come to light today.
DeleteEven more reason to celebrate. As for the chocolate cake well it just has to be done:-)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is. Mick and I rarely eat dessert when we go out so we didn't have any, but Eleanor definitely enjoyed hers.
DeleteI think that calls for even more chocolate cake for Eleanor! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does, though it doesn't really change anything in the grand scheme of things. So long as she'd tried her best in the exams, which she did, and so long as she got on the courses she wanted to take, which she has, that's all that matters really.
DeleteWell done x
ReplyDeleteThank you. Even better results than we first thought.
DeleteWell done Eleanor and big huggles from down under, although I am sitting in New Farnley, fighting with this new notebook. Have a great weekend and take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yay, you made it, you're not too far away from me now.
DeleteEven better then. We went out this evening to celebrate and had a great time. How lucky are we to be able to be so proud of our children? It makes all the hard work so worth while. X
ReplyDeleteEleanor's chuffed to bits as she put a lot of effort in to her ICT, well, she put a lot of effort in to everything actually. Glad to hear your celebrations went well. We are lucky to have children to be proud of.
DeleteThat's even better! As parents we just want our children to try their best; Eleanor has done that and done you proud. X
ReplyDeleteI think that's the main thing. If they've tried their best, they can't have any regrets. We're very proud of Eleanor.
DeleteCongratulations to Eleanor, she's done brilliantly. I think I shall die of fright when it's my turn to watch them do their GCSE's. I'm glad you can all relax and celebrate now! CJ xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's such a nerve wracking time watching them go through these stages. I had Daniel go through GCSEs, AS levels and then A levels and now, with no break in between, we've started again with Eleanor.
DeleteOh congratulations to Eleanor - you must all be so proud of her achievements Jo. I hope that she enjoys the remainder of her holidays before it's time to get her head down again :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. We're all so proud of her, she really worked to get these grades as exams don't come easy to her, but she got there with a lot of determination. There's a teacher training day on the 1st of September so school doesn't open again until the 2nd, but only those students in Year 12 who haven't got their A levels sorted out or have a problem with their results have to go in on the 2nd or 3rd, so she's not back until the 4th, which is nice actually as it's my birthday on the 3rd and she'll be at home with me.
DeleteWow that's even better than the first results - and they were great! Well done Eleanor!
ReplyDeleteThank you. She was pleased without the extra A's, this is just the icing on the cake.
DeleteCongratulations to Eleanor Jo! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We're all thrilled for her.
DeleteEven better! The results forms are so complicated now its no wonder it wasn't clear straightaway.
ReplyDeleteGlad Eleanor enjoyed her celebratory meal!

Eleanor spent a lot of time on her ICT after school, so I'm really pleased that she's been rewarded with 2 As. It goes to show that hard work does pay off, and it's a good lesson for her as she starts her A levels.
