Just when the Year 13s have finished their trial examinations, this is exactly the time when their university offers start coming in thick and fast, and the picture is literally changing every single day. In the first week of term, 7 students had already received all of their university offers, for a whole range of courses from Politics to Comparative Literature to Art Foundation, and Computer Science to Architecture to Classical Studies. Last week saw offers coming in for hugely competitive Oxbridge courses, we are proud and delighted for Rosie, Sarah, and Carissa, who all have received offers from Cambridge, for Natural Sciences, Medicine, and Veterinary Science – congratulations! In addition, it is wonderful that Elsie and Ellen have also both received offers for Medicine courses this week, far earlier than is often the case, so this must be a great weight lifted off their shoulders.

Good luck to those in Year 13 who are still waiting for offers, and well done to those who have also received offers this week!
