I have so much to write about, big and small. And so I’m hardly writing at all. But today was a big day. A very big day indeed, the first full public exam results day.
Fran and I drove in to town first thing and got there at 9. There followed one of the trickiest of parent waits… Out in the car park while faces, happy and sad, ran or trailed back to cars.
One of those days where people who have arsed about discover that not working might not get you what you want.
And you have to hope that hard work and application and sticking power counts for something.
Then a text.
Proving that she might have, against the odds, got a B in maths but she can’t actually count 😉
A* in Sports Studies, A in geography, A in RE, B in English, English, maths, science and a Distinction* in Dance to add to 3 Bs last year.
She’s so happy and we are so proud. She has an ability to organise herself I have never learned; throughout the first half of this year she juggled gymnastics, coaching, dance, cello grade 4 and 2 huge dance exams as well as rugby training. She was only at home for a fraction of her week but the topics got ticked off the calendar and she stuck at it.
Well done Fran. Love you.

Well done! That is something to be really proud of…. Will she stay on at the same place for A levels? That is just terrific -I bet you all sleep a bit easier tonight!!

Well done Fran! She deserved to do well????. In sharp contrast Jake didn’t even know it was results day to go pick up his English result! When I told he said he wasn’t bothered anyway! It’ll arrive in the post while we’re away now!
