I am completing my Linklaters WVS application and the form does not save my secondary school grades (I was educated outside the UK). I noticed though that the secondary school grades are part of the 'equal opportunities' questionnaire, so I am not sure whether they would look at secondary school grades anyway? Should I email GR or simply stick my grades in the 'other information' box?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
I would email GR just to be on the safer side and keep them in the loop! @bibss

Thank you !

I just emailed GR and the automatic response actually said to email grades through if you weren’t able to add your school or university information due to having attended school overseas. GR will then add a note to your application.

Just sharing the above for everyone’s benefit!
