Grow your Grades: results and competition

As we are now approaching the end of the competition I thought I would take the time to let everyone know what happens next!

Firstly- prizes!

- Biggest change in grades
- Best kept blog
- Biggest hurdle overcome

We thought really hard about prizes and we decided that we wanted to give people the opportunity to do something fun and memorable after all that hard work studying!

Therefore the first prize will be:

Ultimate Choice of Unique Things to Do

This lets you pick one of 30 activities or experiences (from Bungee jumping to Spa days) for you and a friend
+Paperchase vouchers (see below)

Runners up prize will be:

Paperchase vouchers so you can buy some lovely stationery (or something else, seeing as Paperchase isn't only stationery) for next academic year or life in general.

How to verify your grades:

Exactly like you did at the start of the competition, once you've got your results email me a photograph or screenshot or forward me the email (depending on how you receive them) including your name, and I'll be able to verify your results!

Don't forget to update your blog, too.

Good luck for next week A-level students - really looking forwards to seeing you all do well. Fingers crossed!

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, a huge ‘Thank you’ to everyone who entered the Grow Your Grades competition, there were some fantastic entries and it’s been great to see how everyone has dealt with the individual pressures of their different subjects.

We’ve been over all entries and it was really difficult to decide winners as there were so many excellent blogs!

Runner Up: @Lucyisglaswegian - Another amazing improvement from a D to A in Higher English. Originally aiming for a B, but went the extra mile and got the A!

Runner Up: @Kittiara – Started the year off with a realdesire to not let their recent personal issues deter them, was determined andfocused throughout.
