All this tension and anticipation can build setting off a wonderful release if the results are good, but something potentially damaging if things haven’t gone as planned.  \nResults Day is an important marker in your teen’s academic achievements . However, although it can seem like the final verdict on how much your teen’s got out of their schooling, the more realistic viewpoint is that it’s a  \nteen’s on the right path. If results are poor, perhaps they need to take a different tack, such as focusing on qualifications that involve more practical studies instead of classroom studies, or where course work and ongoing assessment are the basis for grading rather than examinations.  \nGCSE results day is a pivot point, marking the transition from one academic phase to another. It’s not a final destination, it’s one step in amuch longer journey. In this guide we’ll share with you what you can do to help your teen prepare for their results, what you can do if they don’t get the results they’d hoped for, including an outline of all the options available, and advice on where to get more help if you need it.  \nJoin our Parent Club!
