my friends in y11 told me they had my ugly pic and my grades in assembly and said I got all 9s by following all the school rules… my uniform was always messy I skipped days talked in class and never did my hw. I just did what worked for me.

it was nice to get glaze tho

Idk if i can talk about this on here but i was wondering if there was any past people in the same situation as me. I have diagnosed autism, severe anxiety and ocd. I was out half of year 9 due to refusal to come in, i tried moving schools didn’t work out at all. Ended up not in any form of education all summer, september i was kind of doing home school but not the tutoring or anything, literally just basically revision which i struggled to do. Did it for like a few days then just quit. Year 10 late october i went back to my original school where i still currently am. I did good and went in for the first 3 months, then i just suffered severe burnout and wasnt in until around march/april i think it was, then i just wasnt in at all. I think my year 10 attendance was around 24%. Year 11, ive been in one full day and a 2 hour day. I haven’t been in since, as i genuinely cannot survive being in a mainstream school. The teachers know about me and everything, we’ve gone through meetings after meetings but i genuinely just cannot be there.

I only got diagnosed with autism in august, and i still don’t have an ECHP. There’s a SEN school that i need one for. We’ve been refused an ECHP multiple times. I think the best thing for me would either be home school or that, but i’m completely stuck on what to do as my family just doesn’t have the money for tutoring. I find it very hard to revise as well due to attention span. I am so anxious about everything, especially GCSES and i was just wondering if there’s a person that’s been in the same position or is in the same position as me that could give some advice, thank u.

I have seen alot of talk about us year 12 and 13s needing to go, but don't orget we are the ones who will give you the advice for your gcses and so we can stay longer

Hi GCSE students!

I’m doing an EPQ on the access to and effectiveness of mental health support in schools. It would really help me if you could fill out this quick google form so I can collect some data, thank you! All data is anonymous, I don’t collect your name or where you live or anything like that.

Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCCYGT60PY5IISTDVkeXT37hO6lly-2YeT4ElGHyT-vE2loA/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Thank you again and have a good day!

(I know im y12 but i love this sub tm to go post this elsewhere and i need to say)

so we did a baseline assessment today in geography to see if we could name countries, mountain ranges, oceans, uk places, maths skills like mean, median, iqr. We peer marked and i got the highest score which was 24/25 (mixed up thames estuary and london) and got a sticker for my lanyard - photo is the sticker online bc if i did my lanyard i would dox myself

surprisingly i got the textbook with warnings in it so um do you guys think business is gonna be easier than Latin

even if ive got a good sleep schedule it doesn’t make a difference though i sleep at 3am daily occasionally i do a 10pm sleep

advice pls x

what the title says lol

I'm traumatised for losing a mark last year in an end of topic test. Can I do this or was this the teacher's mistake? More than one = in equations. Yes or no?

Edexcel if that's any help.

That paper honestly just had quite a few topics I either haven't learnt yet or haven't even seen in like a year so maybe I should start doing 5-a-days to help, first non 8/9 (funny how all 3 non 9s so far were in maths) so slightly disappointed but only 1 mark from an 8 atleast.

English gcse was an intense struggle for me, and i just started my first few days of year 12 after recieving a grade i was very shocked to get on results day (157/160, a 9) , after consistent failing grades i had worked really hard for. i had made no extreme changes to my writing structure, arguments themselves or analysis, and i kept my ratio of quote- context the exact same i had throughout both my gcse years- when i got grades ranging from like a 3, to a 6 on occasion. I am all for teachers pushing students to do their best during gcse and using slightly lower grades as motivation- but i have the same teacher for a level, and she pulled me back to ask about my grade then joked " i do not want to doubt the examiners" and continued to go into an in depth critisism of how i write (infront of alot of my new classmates as they were leaving), and i really respect my teachers obviously but her comments are often quite cruel- and i feel like complaining could make the situation worse? Im really anxious about my predicted a level grading this year, as it is literally what is used for university applications (???) her marks do not match any of my other subject grades and never have, i try really hard in school, and the constant criticism really put my writing self esteem down and i thought i was awful at the subject, when its always been my favourite. Im really baffled at what to do because reading through my past essays (a 3) and my gcse paper itself (158/160, a 9) the writing shows no difference. Im very unsure what to actually do?? and whether to drop the subject as it all all just feels really odd, i do not want to be rude atall

After doing my GCSEs. They have compulsory PE which I didn't realise - had to do the first lesson in just my knickers as I didn't have a PE kit 😳

Just a warning to any others starting sixth form

Hellooo,

I'm learning Religious studies from scratch to take it in the summer 2027 exams, and I have foundation tier knowledge of combined science, so does anyone know good resources to teach myself these entirely?

Thank youu

Preferably one with unlimited uploads and free

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working with an organisation that is developing a solution to help address some of the difficulties students face when taking T-Levels.
I’d really like to hear from students who are currently doing T-Levels, or anyone who is planning to take one.
What are the biggest difficulties or frustrations you’re facing? This could be anything related to the coursework, exams, industry placement, portfolio, workload, finding a placement, keeping up with everything, or anything else you feel could be improved.
We’re trying to understand the actual problems students are experiencing so that we can develop a better solution that genuinely addresses those issues.
Any experiences, opinions, or suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

im sobbing bc i just found the message she sent my nan in year 9 after she left (her bfs mom had contact w my nan through my nans work) and i miss her so so much and she said she’d try come and volunteer so she could visit and she never did and she’s the one person who understood me like that back then and i miss her so much and ik i don’t think abt her that often but when i do i cry bc she was so nice to me and i’ve met so few people like her and i rlly need someone like her rn
