Thank you all for your continued support. All's well that ends well. He's taking a foundation course at Nottingham & will continue there for the degree after that.

Phew, close shave!

That's great and a good reminder that A levels are only currency to the next step and that ALL A level results are useful. It would be good for schools (and us parents) to remember this instead of focus entirely on top grades and league tables.
