What does contextual offer mean please
Basically an offer in context, for example of somebody lives in a deprived area, goes to a school that has a low grade average or is a young carer. So if a private school student with all the resources available gets AAAAA, somebody who gets AAABB is just as (if not more) impressive if doing so with extenuating circumstances! It’s a way of levelling the playing field and ensuring that people who were not able to achieve entry requirements even though they are just as intelligent and capable as other have a fair shot.
