a) GCSE grades are viewed contextually, so getting those grades from a super selective school where half the cohort gets straight 9s is going to be viewed differently from taking them from an below average comprehensive where only half the cohort gets a pass in English and Maths.
b) it matters what subjects grades are in and how relevant they are to the chosen degree course. A 7 in Textiles if applying for PPE is different from a 7 in Maths.

Otherwise you have a good chance with your high performance in your GCSEs at your school.
Ultimately, your TSA admissions test and interview peformances will matter the most.

What TSA score is needed for an interview
Reply 6
Economics and Management,
Experimental Psychology,
Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
Then you would require at least 65 and 70 would be a strong score and 75 and above would get you an interview for sure.
Also, don't forget for PPE you must do the essay too.
I have decided on a Law degree. So I will need to aim for 30 and above in the LNAT admissions test.
