How to apply
Advice to applicants
Mitigating circumstances may be personal or family illness, other family circumstances, change of teachers during a course, problems with school facilities or an unusual curriculum followed by your school or college.
We recommend that information on mitigating circumstances that have affected or are likely to affect your academic performance should be included in the referee's report.
We cannot usually consider information that is supplied after an adverse decision has been made on an application by our School.
If you encounter mitigating circumstances after you have submitted your application, please inform the admissions staff in our School as soon as possible.
Where mitigating circumstances have already been considered, for example by the relevant exam board, we will not be able to make further allowances.
