We've just had our GCSE certificates. There was no nice ceremony; you just had to go and collect them. Having said that, there is usually a school awards evening in the spring and I think I'll be getting a paperweight for doing well in my GCSEs.

We had our awards evening on the 20th of October and I got 2 £8 book tokens lol; 1 subject award for Year 11 French and 1 for my GCSE results. I would have preferred the cash though lol.

I got a £15 book voucher for my GCSE's. I have to buy a book by Dec 14th, then I give it to the teacher and then a visitor gives us the books back on the night.

My school had an awards evening in October but you had to have 10 A*/A to get a book voucher. If you had, say, 9A* and a B you wouldn't get anything, which is clearly very silly.

If they'd done that a my school, only 2 people would have got one lol. The top student got 4 A*, 8 As, 1 B and 1 D and the second highest (my mate :biggrin:

) got 1 A*, 10 As and 3 Bs. I got the third highest :biggrin:

but only 7 A*/A, so I wouldn't have got anything. My school's not that good, so they have to lower it a bit!

What's a speech evening? If you mean prizegiving, my AS one is on Tuesday, but I'm not going! :tongue:

I'm not going because not one person I know is going, lol. Last year, I won a special award for GCSE Geog. :tongue:

At my school we had prizegiving where you'd get a book token for about £18 to buy a hardback, then they'd emboss the school crest onto the front which was quite cool

Our paperweights have the school crest on them; they must cost quite a few bob to make. At the end of KS3 I won about 3 but the teacher took 2 of them away. :frown:

Oh well, who needs more than 1 paperweight?
