GCSE Results Day

Today's the day that thousands of kids in the UK get their GCSE results.


I got Daniel up bright and early to go pick his results up from school. If it had been left up to him, he would have left it till this afternoon, he's so laid back about everything.

He's done extremely well, 3 A*'s, 8 A's and 2 B's. He also got a C in additional maths, which is a FSMQ (Free Standing Maths Qualification).

We're taking Daniel to Frankie and Benny's later to celebrate his brilliant results.


The hard work starts all over again in September when he begins his A levels.

  12. Well done to Daniel! I missed this post at the time - I don't know where August went.
    I'm always intrigued by the difference in how results are communicated in England and Scotland. Your kids have to go in to school to get theirs, and in Scotland they can choose to get them by email, text, or just by post. No-one ever goes into school! So all these scenes on the news with students opening envelopes at school are foreign to us. This year our system was a bit too efficient - my daughter got her results by text a day early - see http://occasionalscotland.blogspot.com/2011/08/result.html.

    As you say, the hard work starts again now. Daughter has already done the first draft of her UCAS personal statement - how quickly this last year of school will go. Good luck to you as the support team!

  13. Thanks, Linda. Wow, your daughter did so well, good luck to her for this year. It's very different how the results are communicated. I quite like the fact that they go in to school to collect them, it seems a bit more exciting than a text somehow.
