Following the government’s announcement, stating ‘universities in England should stop making unconditional offers or amending existing offers to students for up to two weeks’ the decision has been taken to extend May’s decision and reply deadlines for undergraduate applications.

These dates have been updated in ‘Track’ – these changes are designed to give students and their chosen universities and colleges the extra time they need to fully consider any decisions and offers, and ensures fairness in admissions is maintained. It also gives more time for further information to be shared on the awarding of grades for examinations and assessments which have been cancelled.

The university or college that you applied to should be able to confirm details of any existing offer that you have from them, and there will be greater certainty for all applicants once universities and colleges have had time to understand how the process for qualifications will work this year.

It’s really important to remember that you don’t need to accept your offer right now. You will be able to make a more informed choice about all available opportunities once the pause on offer-making has ended and will have plenty of time to make your decision once you know all of the options available to you.

Yes your results will be published on Thursday 13^th August. We will update you via email/letter as soon as we know the arrangements for collection of results. Staff will be available on the day to support you in making decisions about the future.
