Headmaster Andy Rattue said: ‘These results are a great credit to the young people themselves, and also to their teachers, who have devoted a great deal of time and energy to their preparation beyond the confines of the ordinary curriculum. RGSAO pupils have been offered an impressive total of just under fifty Oxbridge places in the last four years. Our acceptance rate of 59% is a long way above the independent school average. I am also delighted to report that large numbers of the Upper Sixth have received offers from other top universities, as well as Dental, Medical and Veterinary Schools.’
