This is a day of joy and disappointment. It is a day of video clips and political comment. It is a day of statistics. Above all it is a day to remember; indeed no student will ever forget it. For teachers this is an annual event when they gather in the harvest of their dedication and skill, sometimes from fertile soil but often from stoney ground for which extra praise is due. But for students this day is a one off.
To all of them, whatever the outcome, this blog has a message. We are with you this day. Indeed every thinking person in our country is with you this day because you are our future as well as your own. If you have the grades you wanted, or better, well done. If it has not turned out as you hoped, know that you tried and we are with you too. Remember, if at first you don’t succeed………..! You can and will get there.
