Best of luck to all of you who are waiting for CAO offers tomorrow!! If you need any information or guidance please feel free to contact the guidance department on Teams, call into school or give us a call. Remember if you do not accept your Round 1 offer, you will not get another offer from lower down on your list. If you get an offer you should accept it, even if you think you may get a Round 2 or Round 3 offer for a course you have higher on your list. If you get a Round 2/3 offer it will negate your Round 1 offer. You can choose between Level 8 offer and Level 6/7 offer. If you have any questions give me a shout.
