Yes, its A-level results day.
Best of luck to anyone on here awaiting their (or their offspring's) results.
Hope you all get what you deserve / need.
*despite what the papers have you believe, teenagers OTHER than pretty blondes are in fact, also entitled to sit these exams...
Always posh looking as well.

I believe it still is in Croydon.
I had to provide a self addressed postcard for my "O" level results, kids today etc.
"A" level result nerves are for this time next year, GCSE results are awaited for next Thursday. That's what becomes of the Potting offspring being born in two consecutive school years.
Ah OK, maybe there was a time gap when sending them by post was the order of the day. I certainly don't remember seeing pictures of blondes getting their results until the 80s

Yes, in the 60s, we had to provide the school with a stamped postcard, write our subjects on it, and then the school would fill in the results and put them in the post. The postman knew before I did. I only did O levels.
My granddaughter is getting her A level results from Reigate college via email today. I've sent her a text asking what they are. I may or may not get an answer.

Why, is she likely to be downing a yard of double diamond in the boozer like her grandmother!
Good luck hope she gets what she wants.��

I don't like beer, try half a cider.
The reason is a long story, which I won't go into here.

Any idea if this is the same for the GCSEs next week? Only ask as my lad has been told to go to his school & collect them at 10.30, but we have to let Welbeck Military College know online by 11am what hes got, or they start offering places around to others on the waiting list if its in late. If he gets his results early online it would make our morning a lot less stressful!!

The other smaller GCCM is having to traipse into school the old-fashioned way next week for his GCSE results. I presume that's the case with other schools?

Same here - sure they can get them "online" but I think it is something of a social event (for both pupils and their tutors) and for many (like youngest Potting) who are not going in to sixth form and will be continuing their further education elsewhere to say "goodbyes".

So good I posted twice 
My daughter had to go into her school in Billingshurst to get her results this morning. She wasn't too stressed as she already had an unconditional offer at Winchester. She got ACD and is off to do a History degree.
Hope everyone else is happy with their results and enjoys their next year, whatever they are doing.

My lad also had an unconditional offer at Winchester, but decided against it (as he's been on the bus to Winchester every day for two years, to his 6th Form college, and wanted something new).
Its such a great, compact town though - I'm sure she'll have a great time.

If he didn't have to get the results to his college within 30 minutes of finding out Im sure he would use it as a social event! He wont even have time to celebrate or commiserate though until Welbeck have them registered on their system, and hes told 24 hours later if hes in!

Has a celebrity tweeted how successful they are in life despite getting crap grades yet?

Tell me about it! Just heard that he can now phone the results straight through to Welbeck as soon as hes got them in his hands, but still has to get them registered online by midday to be officially logged.
Talk about a military precision operation!
Well Miss W got BBC and has managed to secure her place at Sussex so all happiness in the WS household. Now awaiting GCSE results for the eldest Master Westdene.
