Some people go through A level Results Day only once: their own day when their results come out.\u00a0 Parents may go through their own and that of their children and possibly the results day for their grandchildren. For us teachers it is an annual occurrence and we never get used to it.\u00a0 It is often an exhausting day filled with many emotions and pleasant surprises.<\/span><\/p>\n

A level Results Day is the day when students find out if they have got into the UK universities of their choice. If they have not applied to UK universities, it is the day when they can tell their chosen university that they have met the criteria needed to start their chosen course.\u00a0 It is the day when the next stage of their lives suddenly becomes a lot clearer. In many ways it is the day when adulthood starts. School is over, all that growing and nurturing has produced its fruits, the \u2018harvest\u2019 is in.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did we get here this year?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Class of 2021 have been through a unique set of circumstances that have affected everyone on the planet.\u00a0 Yet despite all the drama, they have had to focus on their studies under very difficult circumstances.\u00a0 Some enjoyed the lockdown and found it easier to work from home, others found the whole experience traumatic. It is our job as teachers to accommodate and encourage all students.\u00a0 Below, I will give some examples of how our incredible students arrived at Results Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

One student is a budding entrepreneur and unexpectedly found his business taking off right when he should have been concentrating on his studies.\u00a0 He had to learn quickly how to manage his time.\u00a0 His success was down to his ability to communicate and plan and keep his teachers in the loop.\u00a0 This is a remarkable achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several students were incredibly well motivated, knew what they wanted and where they wanted to study and what they had to do to achieve their goals.\u00a0 Some of them had an occasional wobble which is only to be expected.\u00a0 Well-motivated students are like rock climbers, they are totally focussed on what they want to achieve\u2026 unfortunately sometimes they look down and feel dizzy and can\u2019t quite believe what they have achieved so far and how much more they still have to do. But they got there in the end and the joy was there for all to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some students have personalities that are more relaxed and need to be given a bit more of a sense of urgency.\u00a0 Some students needed a lot of pastoral support, others none at all.\u00a0 Some students had dreams and ambitions that had been with them since childhood, others only really found out what they would like to study a few months before applying to university.<\/span><\/p>\n

The application process for the universities in each country is completely different and some are far more complex than others.\u00a0 It is important that the students take ownership of the process so that they feel the responsibility of what they are doing and become goal-oriented to achieve.\u00a0 All our students showed remarkable maturity and creativity in choosing courses and completing the sometimes tedious entry requirements. For many it is the first time in their lives when they have had to put their achievements, strengths and weaknesses onto a form to show complete strangers.\u00a0 Taking such an objective look at oneself is always daunting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The application forms are completed, the examinations taken, the summer holiday starts. Then in mid-August, Results Day arrives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quite a few tanned, relaxed and enthusiastic students came into school. It was lovely to see them and to see their excitement about their futures.\u00a0 It is one of the most rewarding parts of being a teacher.\u00a0 Some years, and this was no exception, there can be issues with the universities and it is good to have teachers on hand to phone and send emails to clarify the confusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The great thing is that now, all students have places at institutions where they want to study.\u00a0 It is so very satisfying and a credit to their maturity and hard work.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for us teachers and support staff\u2026. we are already preparing ourselves to go through it all again next year.<\/span><\/p>\n
