Headmaster, Bennet Carr, said: “Applying to Oxford and Cambridge is one of the most competitive academic challenges for any sixth former and this very strong showing is great credit to the students themselves and those many colleagues who have encouraged and inspired them. I am equally proud of those who took up the challenge but missed out and, indeed, of all our upper sixth who are working hard to gain places at other sought-after universities and on competitive apprenticeship programmes.”
