Also I want to do a teacher training degree and was wondering if there will be any teacher training degree available through clearing
Answers:
I'd phone the uni now and Explain the situation to the admissions tutor, with mitigating circumstances they may take you and will probably respond with a bit more understanding if you take the initiative and warn them before results day. Can your school write a letter of support?
Teacher training courses will be available through clearing, get a copy of the times on results day and make a list of Unis to call (and their numbers, from the UCAS Handbook)
Call the the uni you applied to first, then your reserve choice, then down through the list of the other 4 you applied - Unis are more to keen to take people through clearing if they have at least applied to the uni in the past because they have a lower drop out rate.
Above all try not to worry - It is actually easier to get into your first choice of Uni than your school tells you - I think all of my friends in school got into their first choice of uni, and I don't think any of us achieved our predicted grades (or even the entry requirements!).
Ring the uni and ask if there are courses that you like in clearing, their advisors are there to help you in any way they possibly can, I know because I have been on the clearing hotline for the University of Liverpoool.
did you call UCAS?!
They might drop the grades a bit if they have a shortage of applicants, otherwise you could try applying to another university.
Teacher training is a bit of a weird one because a lot depends upon the ages of the children you intend to teach as regards the academic qualifications you need.
My niece got a teaching degree (primary school) a few years ago and she didn't have A levels like that.
There are Teacher Training places available through Clearing...

I can't really answer your questions without knowing exactly what Uni you are talking about and what course you have gone for.
I am presuming you have selected your first and second choices? It is possible that your second choice will accept you.
Very best of luck with everything!
If the various reasons you mention are quite important ones then you could ask the University for special consideration of these circumstances. There is a definitely a hope that they will take you though! The best thing to do is to ask them and see what they say.
If the worst comes to the worst and they don't take you, you could always do more A levels, I'm pondering doing that myself : )
But there should be teacher training places through clearing if you look. I think The Times will have all the places available through clearing on results day.
Good luck!
First time I went to Uni, I didn't get the grades I needed but got onto my course no problem, just phoned UCAS when I got my results and it was all hunky dory.
