There were lots last year who admitted to missing out 'loads' mine included. Though they were neither unduly pessimistic they we certainly not optimistic either. Eventually those who were thought capable of passing mostly did and there were very few awful surprises!
The period from now until the results are declared is unquestionably agonising. I do so sympathise with all you parents! I would simply ask you not to interrogate your dd or ds, they will need to move on and so do you. The die is cast and the next twelve months is in my view the biggest ask that any state educated child has to meet. The astounding thing is how well they meet that challenge. Thank goodness the Adjudicator ruled not to change the goal posts at the last minute. I am not sympathetic to the Northamptonshire interests who first made the challenge but it was magnanimous of them to say to the Adjudicator they did not want to disrupt this years proceedings by a very late adverse ruling.
Take heart all and join rehab for the next six months!
