Fair play to her makes all that hard work worthwhile and no doubt she is continuing to increase her level of skill and knowledge

Thanks pal. She's done well considering her dad's a failure in life ; )

I got an O level in Geography, I'm still waiting for it. I know the post is slow but it was in 1976 ffs.

The Royal Mail don’t know where your address is.

What the smug twat doesn’t remind us is that his parents forked out a fortune to send him to Repton, a private school where he failed so magnificently.

Independent Co-Educational Boarding and Day School for pupils aged 13 to 18.

Repton School is a co-educational independent school for boarding and day pupils aged between 13 and 18 in Repton, Derbyshire, England.

He then worked selling mummy’s Paddington bear dolls before nepotism got him a break on the Rotherham Advertiser.
So my advice to those who have failed their A levels is re-sit them, unless you have a very influential daddy who can help you grow up to be as big a twat as Clarkson.

Thanks EB, I bet you was a kind and likeable mentor to the kids you taught, unlike my teachers. Most of them were cruel tormentors who I hated.

I tried to be. I’m sorry you suffered because school should be exciting and fun for children. I know saying the happiest days of your life is a cliche but at least not miserable. :-) :-)

Just a reminder for any young uns worrying.

Nobody, not one employer, has ever asked to see my A level or degree certificates.

Could’ve just made the whole thing up if I wanted.

Congratulations to all that got their grades today but I know a lot of very successful people that never got or for that matter ever took an exam.

My 3 PhDs from Oxford, Harvard and MIT weren’t easy, but I wanted to make my teachers at Eton proud.

Thing is it's now very difficult to fail A levels - with a 97.2% pass rate. Gold standard? I really doubt it. 50 years ago the pass rate was about 65% in most subjects and over half the pass students achieved the lower 2 grades (D and E). And don't get me started on those mickey mouse degree courses (communication, media studies etc). Next up we'll have a degree course in balloon animal construction. Rant over.
