T'was the night before GCSE results day 2026...
Every year I feel like my belly is full of butterflies before results day. This year, despite allegedly saying I'd be taking on less students (🧐), I've actually had my biggest cohort of year 11 students ever! This means that the nerves are multiplied quite significantly 😂
Anyway, I know they are not my children, but I treat them all in the same way I would want someone to treat my daughter and that includes caring about their outcomes on a very invested level 🤞🏻🙏🏻
For all the parents and carers - breathe and eat a big bar of chocolate. If tomorrow really isn't ok, there are things that can be done and sorted. If anyone needs any advice - I am here.
For my students, every single one of you - you're amazing. I miss you all but I'm so proud of what you've all achieved despite that piece of paper tomorrow. You've all worked so hard and deserve for that to pay off. 🎉
Anyway, I'm just going to try my best to remember that I've got a fair few years until I go through this for my actual child 😂 and whatever happens tomorrow, it'll be fine in the end ❤️
