Sheffied defo safe. Manchester also safe as you have B1. But KCL and Birmingham on the riskier or aspirational side. I'd say Leeds would be a safer choice given your GCSEs and Liverpool given your strong extracurriculars.

With a B1, cut-off was 2840 last year, which is approx 2130 now.
But agree there are far safer options
