Did you miss my free parent webinar on 24th August? Scroll down to watch the replay! August is a notoriously tense month for families. As results day approaches, the focus is naturally on those grade boundaries and envelope-opening moments. But once the dust settles, a whole new challenge appears on the horizon: the transition to…
Maybe you’ve been avoiding thinking about it, but preparing ahead for A Level results day will help you make the most of whatever comes your way!
