Nope - after the inital email confirming my place I haven't heard anything from the school which is a bit concerning
I haven't heard anything since Results Day.
Do you want to play LPTPHW?

Do you have to buy A-level textbooks and if so have you bought them?

My school provides an ebook copy but I could if I wished. I was considering buying cgp guides as a basic guide but I'm not going to buy it yet. I will see how the ebook fairs

What did you get for your GCSE results?

What did you get for your GCSE results?

I did post it on my Yr 11 gyg. I'm not mentioning it as I am waiting for my remarks to confirm the grades I have received then I will update my first post👍🏻
Little update:mmm:

My forgetful self forgot to add that I was doing an EPQ (which I will start in Yr 12)! Additionally I got into my first choice sixth form - so I am over the moon:headfire:

Although it will be the first time I'm relying on public transport but luckily my local council added more buses (that go to the sixth forms to combat demand/rush hour) so hopefully it should be alright! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

To do list over the summer deadline next week ~⛱️
Maths summer work
✅Chemistry summer work
☑️Biology summer work
☑️Epq summer work
☑️Leaf programme
☑️CV draft

Next week I have a day of school to allow us Yr 12s to familiarise ourselves and receive our student IDs and timetables. So by the end of next week I will have an update for that!
I'm quite excited to be honest and tried to be prepared (excluding summer work which I am nearly done with lol). Although not many of my peers are going to that school I have found a small group of close friends which are going - so it helps with the unfamiliarity😭

Wish everyone a enjoyable rest of the hols xx

Thank you 🫶 Probably a dissertation since I'm terrible at maintaining motivation when it comes to creating objects (even though I love it😭) Topics would either be science related or ethical concerns? Not too sure yet - planning to do a possible mix but I will have to discuss with the tutor first lol

Heyyy
OMGGGG congraulations on getting into your first choice sixth form :lol:
Public transport can be awful sometimes but if there's a lot of people from that school getting the same bus the school will be understanding about lates and stuff so dw about it especially as they ahve increased the number of buses in your area - in my area they decreased the amount of buses going to the schools which is annoying
Good luck with your induction day - we just get two hours at the start of the day to familiarise ourselves 🥲

Ooh sounds nice, if you pick a topic you're really interested in it makes the process a whole lot better!

That's so unfair 😭 my council has attempted to make transport better (also because my sixth form is near the hospital so lots of healthcare workers😭)
Yea it's true but a nightmare nevertheless💀
Bless you we have a whole school day 😭❤️they just sent an email of videos we have to watch to set up our devices for school use🥲

Yes I agree I have a few ideas floating that I have noted just waiting to talk with the tutor and see how it goes 💪

At my old school year 7 and 12 start a day earlier so I assumed it would be the same but unfortunantly not
