idk what to do
Basically my school refused to acknowledge my circumstances were extenuating, I have my A Levels in less than a month and I'm very cooked. I'm mentally exhausted and every paper I do I get worse at and I don't want to not go to my firm uni but I feel so inadequate and scared and honestly I have no clue on what to do anymore.

Were those extenuating circumstances essentially "mental exhaustion"? Do you have any formal evidence (e.g. from a GP or mental health professional) of your condition?
Take a look through "A Guide to the Special Consideration Process". Does anything in there seem to match what you're experiencing? (For example, "Flare-up of a psychological condition, a mental health condition".)

No it's been from physical/ mental harrassement. I have a note from a psychiatrist and I've tried getting meds from my GP but I'm too young to go on them. My psychiatrist sent me a report about myself to send to my university recently but they have a separate extenuating circumstances claim that opens in July. I'm really worried in general as my school refuses to acknowledge any of my extenuating claims,

Understood. Let's suppose that your school change their viewpoint and acknowledge that extenuating circumstances apply. What do expect will happen, on a practical level, as a result?
They can't apply for special consideration on your behalf, as that can only be applied for at the time of your exams. (See my previous reply for details.)
They can't contact your university as it seems that they don't accept such information until July. Anyway, it's not clear what they could add to the report your psychiatrist has already written.
You say that you're "really worried in general as my school refuses to acknowledge any of my extenuating claims". What is it, specifically, that you're worried isn't happening which should be happening?

If you have a psychiatrist, they are the person to decide whether or not you need meds. There is no such thing as too young for meds, plenty of kids and teenagers are on meds if they are indicated.
