EPQ + Contextual offer
When applying university, if your eligible for the contextual offer due to , for example, having free school meals and where you live, but also you’ve got an A* in EPQ, do both of these reduce your offer even further?

You can't 'stack' grade reductions if that is what you mean - ie. you can't claim a Contextual offer and get an additional reduction for also doing an EPQ

Do you know what happens then? Because I’m trying to apply to a university that would give me a contextual and they offer a grade reduction if you’ve got an A or higher in EPQ, because I was told someone did get reduced for both of them?

Email the Admissions Office for that Uni and ask, but this would be highly unusual.
