[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 115653, member: 2672"] Would the school or a teacher be able to verify the circumstances related to the teaching standards? If so, you could claim the extentuating circumstances. Unfortunately without any proof/verification, it’s very difficult for a recruiter to understand how it may have impacted your grades. However, in your circumstances, it sounds like this is one blip in an otherwise excellent academic record and therefore might be seen as such and taken onboard. There are an increasing number of firms who do not have any A-level criteria, and so no don’t think your grades will limit you anyway. However, my advice is to start applying before you commit to the PGDL and see how you get on with vacation scheme and direct TC applications. You could always start a PGDL course in January/February rather than September and then you can make a judgement based on how your initial set of applications work out as to whether to invest into the PGDL.
