Too often children believe they cannot achieve academic success because of lack of confidence, lack of practice and lack of time. Parents often feel trapped: they want their kids to study, but end up arguing with their kids to complete tasks. Or, the parents feel the curriculum has changed so much that they cannot help their kids at home.
This channel serves to empower children and parents so they can not only achieve academic success, but also thrive emotionally and mentally by offering them tools and resources to not only master the curriculum, but to acquire skills to build up their self-esteem; develop their communication skills, and nurture their resourcefulness.
What makes this channel unique is its inclusiveness: it is designed for people with learning difficulties and with different learning styles.
At the heart of this channel is fun! As Einstein stated: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." So, why not use imagination to acquire knowledge?

📚 GCSE Results Day 2025 - To Every Parent Right Now 💙
.
**Today feels massive - you're not alone.**
.
Whether your child is celebrating or you're both processing unexpected results, remember this: GCSEs matter, but they don't define your child's worth. Success looks different for every young person.
.
**If English results weren't what you hoped:**
.
✨ Resits are absolutely possible- November 2025 (if aged 16+ by 31st August) or next summer
✨ Many colleges are flexible with entry requirements
✨ Your brilliant child is still exactly the same person they were this morning.
.
What you can do today:
.
- Let them feel disappointed (it's completely valid)
- Celebrate the subjects they DID succeed in
- Take time to process before making any big decisions
- Remember that late bloomers often surprise everyone
.
My husband, Jason Holloway, achieved mostly grade Cs at GCSE and failed his A levels. But he went on to become a firefighter and then worked on systems and operations for a 7 figure business before setting up his own business. I share this with you, not to impress, but to press upon you the point: grades do not determine your child's life; their attitude (and yours) does!
.
📋 Steps for Parents Right Now:
.
1. Breathe first - Your anxiety transfers to your child
2. **Listen more than you talk** - Let them lead the conversation
3. Gather information calmly - Contact school for guidance, research options together
4. Focus on next steps, not blame- "What can we do now?" not "What went wrong?"
5. Look after yourself too - You can't pour from an empty cup
.
**💡 Smart Support Tip for Resits:** Before booking expensive tutoring (£30-50+ per hour), consider tailored GCSE English resources and targeted courses. They're more cost-effective, work at your child's pace, address specific problem areas systematically, and remove the pressure of one-to-one sessions. Many students actually perform better this way!
.
The most important thing today: Your love and support matter infinitely more than any grade. Making them feel heard, understood, and validated is the greatest gift you can give right now.
.
🆘 If today feels overwhelming:
- School support - Contact them even during holidays, someone will be available
- Crisis support
- Samaritans 116 123 (free, 24/7)

You're not alone
- Reach out to other parents, friends, or family
.
**Results day is hard, but tomorrow is full of possibilities.** 💚

Back-to-School Planning Made Simple 📚
.
Hey lovely parents! 👋
.
Anyone else feeling like the summer hols have flown by? Just me? 😅
.
I'll be honest - before kids, I was the queen of winging it. Spontaneous trips, last-minute plans, you name it! But now? Well, let's just say my diary is my best friend, and I've already made plans for Christmas (don't judge me! 🎄).
.
The thing is, I've learned that a bit of planning goes such a long way. It means:
.
✨ Nothing gets forgotten (goodbye, mad dashes to buy PE kit!)
✨ Everyone's happy and sorted
✨ Way less stress all round
.
With September just around the corner, I've been thinking about how we can help our children hit the ground running. They deserve every chance to shine, don't they?
.
That's exactly why I've put together this brilliant checklist.
.
www.uplevel-academy.co.uk/gcse-check-list
.
It breaks down everything the examiners are actually looking for, gives you clear explanations you can share with your child, and even includes model answers to guide you both.
.
Because let's face it - we all want our kids to feel confident and prepared, not stressed and overwhelmed.
.
Who's with me on getting organised early? 🙋♀️
.
Drop a 📚 if you're ready to tackle September like the brilliant parent you are!
