Exceptional Circumstances - What you need to know

If something serious is happening in your personal life or in the life of someone close to you it can have a very significant impact on your ability to study or undertake assessment. You should let someone in your School know as soon as possible as you could be eligible for Exceptional Circumstances.
There are very strict deadlines when applying for Exceptional Circumstances and these can vary from school to school so it’s best to get in touch with your school directly to find out when their application deadline is.
