9 ways to celebrate on exam results day
Message to Year 11 and Year 13: we know you’re getting stressed already. We’ve all been there. Sometimes you get the grades you need, and sometimes you don’t. And even if you do come up with the goods, you can be assured that at least one of your friends will be disappointed. Which can make results day conversations just very awkward. So get planning for something fun to do once the grades are in. That way, whatever happens you’ve got an event to look forward to and something else to talk about! And if nothing else, at least you can celebrate the fact that the waiting and the stress are well and truly over...
