“I am absolutely delighted for our students,” said Head of Sixth Form Tim Borton. “Entry to Oxbridge is extremely competitive and they have worked very hard over the past two years in order to balance the demands of the very rigorous application process with their A-level studies and all their extra-curricular commitments. This is due reward for the students and staff who have worked so closely together, exploring ideas well beyond the normal A-level syllabus.”

“The application process is incredibly demanding but we get a lot of help and support from our teachers and the Careers Department to prepare us for each stage,” commented Lucy Fallen.
