St Dunstan’s College celebrates Oxbridge success
St Dunstan’s College is delighted to announce six students have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge.
Head Nick Hewlett said: "The whole College is delighted with this news, and many congratulations to the students for their hard work and commitment throughout the application process and as they prepare for their final examinations next term.
"I also want to thank the Futures team for their support during this period, and we look forward to celebrating all our Sixth Formers’ offers as they come in over the coming weeks. I also look forward to recognising Year 13’s achievements at the Sixth Form Graduation Ceremony next term."
Samuel, who has been offered to read Classics at Balliol, Oxford, said: "I am absolutely thrilled, I cannot wait to immerse myself in Literae Humaniores and be taught by the hefty names that populate my bookshelves."
He added: "My thanks to the school are vast and absolute: without the generous bursary and scholarship that have allowed me to attend St Dunstan’s, I would have never stepped foot in a Latin classroom nor be in a position to apply to Oxford, let alone receive an offer.
"I am especially grateful to Ms Butryn and her wonderful Classics department - who have unfalteringly shared their passion, encouragement, and support throughout my time here - as well as the Oxbridge team for being a steady tiller in the deadline sea."
Last year, St Dunstan’s celebrated record-breaking A-Level results, with 95% of students gaining places at their chosen universities.
