Congratulations to all of them.

Your grandchildren must be delighted, Franbern.

Never worry too much about top GCSE grades, GrannyGravy13. Yes, they're a good indication which direction to go in, but a couple of years down the line and they become less important to show what you're really made of!

Oh, poor laddie! What a shame - but it's good that he can still carry on in sixth form. I'm surprised that his school didn't suggest appealing on medical grounds though.

Sorry to hear that. GG13. Poor boy, must have been really hard for him. Good that he can carry on in the sixth form.

Our GC had mixed results, unfortunately he passed out during his first exam.

He was taken to hospital where they discovered he had broken his wrist at lunchtime playing football and he hadn’t realised. It was the pain and delayed shock which caused him to pass out.

He failed that exam, passed all the others, but not with the grades he was predicted.

Still high enough to go to VI form fortunately.

(Yes I will treat him 🥰)

Yesterday GCSE results came out. Three of my younger g.children, all in different areas of UK have just finished their year 11 and were awaiting these.

I am delighted at all their successes, which included 12 of these at Grade 9 Pass (A**), and 8 x 8 Grades (A*) and exams taken passed. All three will continue onto A levels now.

Yes, each g.child get a small monetary pressie from me, I stress it as nothing to do with results, all to do with their achievement of actually working so hard and taking these exams.

I also send congratulations to their parents for being so supportive.

All three of my daughters happily accepted their roles in their children's achievements, - Strange as I can remember when they did their examinations, they considered that it was all their own achievement and nothings whatsoever to do with me and their father.
