You only get a conditional offer if you are a year 13 student who applied to uni through UCAS.

I think you got a good shot at being accepted at a sixth form grammar school. Go to the sixth form grammar school website and see what the grade requirements are for your subjects. Most grammar schools wants you to have a bunch of grade 6s and 7s.

Not sure where you may be getting that information. Most grammar schools would ideally want students that average at least a seven, so you want to aim for mostly sevens and eights, not to mention that a seven or above would be required for a subject at GCSE should you want to study that subject at A-Level at most grammar schools. The minimum English and Maths requirement in general would be a 5 or above. Either way, OP does have a good shot at being accepted if they keep or even improve their grades at GCSE.

I told OP that they still have a good shot at being accepted in a sixth form grammar school but still advised them to check the grade entry requirements. This is because most grammar schools in my region wants 6s and 7s, however i know this may vary. I got this information by checking the grade entry requirements from sixth form grammar schools that are based in London back in year 11.
