Congratulations to students across the Sixth Form for their success with university applications!

*Some have received all five conditional offers

*Others have received unconditional offers for top Russell Group universities like Birmingham and York

*Many of our medics and dentists have gained interviews at their chosen universities but still have to hear the outcome in this very competitive field

*Our applicant for veterinary medicine has been interviewed and received an offer

*17 students have received conditional offers to study at Oxford and Cambridge

We wish them all well as they wait to hear from all their universities and then make those difficult decisions in some cases about their preferred course and location.
