Quick question what does Birmingham mean by contextual points
Is it for school you did the gcse at or the school you are doing your a levels at
Or is it based on all secondary schools u visited

it's either your gcse school or a level school, so if one is contextual and not the other you still get the points

no the points are not based on what polar quintile your school is in, but what polar quintile your home postcode is in, and to get these points your school has to meet birminghams contextual requirements - about 90% of non selective state schools do
