I wish you all the best of luck on results day.  Be pleased (but not too pleased) if you’ve done better than you expected and don’t be too disappointed if the reverse is true.  GCSE grades are important in determining the next stages of your education but do remember that in 5 years time, no-one will ever again be interested in your news from today….

I think the most important thing to think about today is this.  From around the beginning of April until the end of your final GCSE exam, you have been working independently, working things out for yourself, making notes and using web resources to improve your learning and understanding.   You have decided what to study and how best to achieve your learning goals.  And these are exactly the skills that will be needed to make a success of the next stage of your education!  So the question is “can you keep up these high levels of motivation/determination/organisation when you start your A level courses in September?”

But I hope you will find time for some celebrations before the serious stuff starts again in September!  Enjoy the rest of your summer.
