With experience we realise that worries about the odd mark here and there are usually a waste of energy, although sometimes they do really matter.

However, while a string of top grades are by no means the holy grail we should still (privately!) celebrate the academic achievement of those who do excel through hard work and not undervalue them.

It can be quite hard to get the balance right between celebrating hard work and success and reassuring that its not critical!
Absolutely...it’s not easy to get the balance right and good to recognise everyone is on their own track of growth and development and that a certain amount of work is indeed needed to get where you want to get.
