Grandson #1 James got his GCSE results today and he has delighted everybody - not least himself. He has been at the amazing Dr Challoner's Selective Grammar School in Amersham since leaving primary school in 2016. Along with his contemporaries he has had to home-school for months and months during COVID lockdowns so GCSEs have been a worrying time all round.
Mainly to confuse grandparents the results nowadays are on a numerical scale 1 to 9, 9 being the highest.
Here are James':
English Literature 6
English Language 6
Religious Studies 7
Maths 7
History 7
Physics 7
Geography 8
Chemistry 8
Biology 8
In terms of the A B C grades, a 6 is equivalent to a strong B, 7 is an A and 8 is an A*. Present intentions are to do Geography, Biology and Politics in the 6th Form.
Here's the bright boy looking very smart on his first day at Challoners:
