We ask that all offer-holders read this page by 9 February 2024 to ensure that you know what to do if you experience illness or other circumstances that may affect your studies after receiving your offer OR if you have a disability, Specific Learning Difficulty or long-term illness (including mental health conditions).
- Students with a short term illness or other circumstances that affect your studies / exams post offer
- Students with a disability, Specific Learning Difficulty or long-term illness
Information for students with a short-term illness or other circumstances that may affect your studies or exams
Whilst you are an offer-holder, if your studies are affected by short-term illness (of any kind) lasting more than a week, or other extenuating circumstances that we don't already know about, particularly around the exam period, please ask a teacher to email us to keep us updated at the time it happens. We need to know if you've got a challenging home environment, if a close family member has died, if there are unexpected problems with the teaching provision at your school, if there was a problem with the delivery of your exams, and any other circumstances that affect you. Many thanks.
If you have a problem during an exam period, please ensure that your teacher has notified the relevant exam boards as well as emailing us. The email from your teacher should confirm that the exam boards have been notified.
The information will be placed in your file and taken into account when we receive your exam results.
If you had an Extenuating Circumstances form included in your original application, we still have this information in your file, though please ask a teacher / GP / social worker to write in to update us if there is further, new information that we should be aware of at this stage.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at Christ's Admissions Office if there's anything we can help with.
