I saw a news article last week about the student who had achieved "the best" in this year's GCSEs. There is no argument that she achieved really well but can we really say that she did "the best"?

None of my students achieved a grade 9 this year. In fact, I've never had a student achieve a grade 9 with me but that's not what I specialise in so I'm fine with it.

When the media releases articles such as this, it can damage the self-worth of other students who have worked damn hard to make the progress that they have. I have students who couldn't be more delighted with their grade 5s and 7s because it reflects at least two grades of improvement since their starting points with me. They smashed their targets and achieved more than they hoped possible.

Is it fair to compare a student who's perhaps a natural academic in a fee-paying, high-achieving school with a student who's suffered adversity and yet managed to achieve a grade 4 in maths?

These "the best" stories will always happen and schools themselves often post similar but I really do feel there should be more celebration for others.

What are you thoughts on this? Tutors and teachers, in particular, I bet you have something to say!

In all the GCSE result celebrations, we must remember that it's not like that for everyone. What happens when results don't go to plan?

First things first, don't panic (as hard as that is).

Grade boundaries are all published online so you can check how close to the next grade your young person's mark was. If very close, you could consider requesting a marking review through the school or exam centre. Ask for the papers to be downloaded and for the school to look at them and advise whether they think a review is worthwhile. There is a cost per paper for review.

If the grade achieved affects your young person's next steps because a minimum course requirement wasn't met, contact the school/college and arrange a conversation about choices of course and qualifications. There are usually staff on hand ready to answer your questions and to help you find a new path if necessary.

The media is filled with success stories which can have a negative effect on our teens if they are disappointed with their results (and possibly in themselves). Give some extra TLC where necessary, stay calm and help guide them to whatever comes next.

Here's a reminder about my sessions at Horsell Church Of England Junior School.

"Power Up" is small group tuition sessions (maximum 6 students) for Years 5 and 6. These include targeted support for each student through engaging and collaborative activities. Sessions are £24 each and are bookable in half termly blocks. Parents receive written feedback at the end of each block.

"Maths Explorers" is a fun and playful club for Years 3&4. We explore all kinds of mathematical concepts through games, practical activities and craft. Sessions are £7.50 and are booked in termly blocks.

If you have any questions about my sessions, let me know! 👍🏻

I am very proud of all my students achievements this year and I wish them all well for their next educational steps.

86% of my students achieved grade 5 or above.

Several students achieved their highest target grade which really reflects the work they've put in and the way we have worked together to build their confidence and belief in themselves.

I hope they've all had some fun celebrating their achievements! They deserve it! 🥳🥳

Every year, I find myself explaining the grading system to someone. Yesterday, it was someone’s granny who wanted to understand her grandchildren’s results today. 🙂
