Are Sussex lenient with their GCSE's requirements?

Hello,

Thank you for your message. Normally, students are required to meet the compulsory entry criteria stated. However, exceptions are made from time to time, especially if a student qualifies for a contextual offer (i.e. they can provide some evidence of their educational achievement being adversely affected by a factor beyond their control, e.g. mental or physical health problem). You can find out more about contextual offers by following these 2 links:

However, regardless of whether or not you qualify for a contextual offer, I would advise you to contact the designated school that you will be applying to. I can send you the contact details if you let me know which course you are planning to apply for. Alternatively, you can email [email protected] for general course and application enquiries.

I hope this gives you some useful guidance. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best of Luck,
