“A GCSE final year pupil has just had moderate sensori-neural deafness identified. Can the school apply for extenuating circumstances?”

BATOD response:

The school should engage directly with the awarding body/exam board with evidence of the effect it has had on learning. There would need to be evidence that it is linked to the deafness.
