In that case, you could certainly argue that, although he met the minimum qualifying standard, there is evidence to show that he ought to have scored even more highly than he did.
See B1
part (b):

must give good reasons for wanting a place at this particular school (rather than negative points about the allocated school):

To sum up, there should be three parts to your case:
1. Academic evidence that he is even more able than his score might suggest.
2. Reasons why he underperformed on the day of the test.
3. Reasons for wanting or needing a place at this particular school.
Ideally all three parts would be equally compelling.
Try and make them of approximately equal length (although the evidence can be additional).
The case would look very 'unbalanced' if you were to write a whole page about academic ability and extenuating circumstances, but just a sentence or two about reasons for wanting a place.
