Results Day

[di marco]

Yeah I wanna do Primary teaching.. I forgot what ebtry requirements are needed, think I'll ahve to check back up on that! Haha

You have to pick a subject to specialise in, which will probably be one of your A Levels, or Gifted & Talented or Special Needs. Some unis make you pick that to start with when you apply, and some make you pick once you've started. The entry requirements are pretty low, it mainly is work experience that counts. I know someone who got BCDe, and is now a teacher at a very good primary school. And she got her job before she even graduated!

EDIT: She specialised in ICT, by the way.

You'll need an A level in a core national curriculum subject such as english, maths, a science, geography or history.

yeh from what ive heard about primary school teaching you need at least 5 gcses grade C or above including maths, english and i think science as well, and i think you have to have done a national curriculum subject at alevel. i dont think it really matters how varied the subjects are, just as long as all your subjects werent things like sociology/psychology/media etc. if in doubt though, check on the uni or ucas website cos that will tell you what each specific uni requires

2 more days.. I feel a bit sick thinking about it so I am going to go down to try and get my mind off it..

I feel sick too. I did last night as well and I was still awake at 4

Good luck with GCSE results tomorrow, Kim and Spicy (and anybody else who is recieving them)... try not to worry about them - I'm sure you've all done great.

[Kirsty :]]

Yeah good luck tomorrow GCSE people
You'll be fine seriosuly and I bet you've aced them
Just think at the end of the day it'll be a big relief to finally know what you've got and even if you do rubbish (not that that'll happen) but as long as you know in yourself you put 100% effort into what you did don't worry about it. Exams aren't life or death situations They're just exams that yeah may/could throw you off route but at the end of the day can be fixed

You'll all do fab anyways so yeah GOOD LUCK

Well said Kirsty, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter if you did bad, you can always resit if you really want or need to. Teachers make out that exams are the most important things you will ever do but really they're just a means to an end. As long as you did ok in English and maths then don't worry about it.

I know its easy for me to say that but once you start doing A levels or similar you'll realise that GCSEs really aren't worth stressing about.

Good luck to everyone collecting their results tomorrow, I hope you all get what you want

[Kim]

I feel sick...

Looked up the GCSE equivalent to the CSE's my mum got. She won't have a leg to stand on to not be pleased about whatever I've got, she got the equivalent of a D and the rest E's. My dad doesn't have any qualifications so I guess I'll only get a drilling from myself, lol.

Desperate for certain grades in about 3 subjects and not so much with the others now, so I hope I won't end up too disappointed tomorrow.

As long as you're happy with your results, what other people think shouldn't matter.
