@Muchtoomuchtodo at Loughborough it's Maths with Economics.

Doesn’t the UCAS page include contextual offers? This is why I haven’t’ really used it in earnest. The website says it offers based on the whole application and the are just under 5 offers per place. Does this mean they are unlikely to accept reduced grades on results day?

Yes the stats do show contextual offers as well but you cannot on grades and see the the percentage accepted at that grade (who were already offer holders). Then make a judgement call as to whether they were all contextual. 5 offers per place makes sense as lots of people will have 5 courses to choose from.

That should say you can put in some grades.

That’s really helpful, thank you @ArchitectureMum. I’m very glad it’s DS applying not me!
