one day exclusion in year 10 please help im going crazy

i got a one day exclusion at start of year 10 for vaping once in the toilets which i said it was because i was peer pressured by other people
this goes on my permanent record but i just want to know if i dont have incidents like this ever again and get good grades (i generally get 9s-8s on reports) in my gcses would i still have a chance to go to a good sixth form (like a grammar school for example tiffins)
just saying this was my first exclusion, ive had no detentions, or internal exclusions before and i already go to a grammar school

Was it an external exclusion [you had to stay at home]?

First of all you shouldn't have done that but no I don't think so as long as u don't do it again. I know really bad kids that still got into sixth forms

ofc but would i still be able to get into a good sixth form (a good grammar school) is my question

well tbh, it depends. if the sixth forms you are applying see your permanent record, then that would be a bit unfortunate. but please make this a one-off and you should stop hanging about with the people who peer pressured you. trust me, if you want to get into a good sixth form, i recommend reconsidering your social circle

alright but in what circumstances do sixth forms check your records. do they check everyones records or only if you are competing for a place with another student. and if i do make this a one off and get good grades would they outweigh the exclusion. my current school did say they would consider me if i got good grades on my gcses but their sixth form isnt the best thats why im asking

yes i forgot you were in year 10! you should be fine - yeah just let this be a one off and focus on achieving your academic goals !

They can't check your records but it could be in a reference. To be honest, as it was a one-off, I doubt your school would mention it. Why not talk to a HOY about it?

alright ill talk to some of my teachers on what they think

No, not a teacher as they won't be writing a reference. It'd be someone like a Head of Year

oh
i mean by the time its yr11 and time for them to write references i would have made changes to behviour so theyre less likely to mention it?
my head of year is generlly rlly nice as well

Are you in Year 11 now? You'll be applying in the next few months

nope year 10

So this is recent then? Put your head down and work hard ... change your 'friends'.
