St Swithun’s students celebrate record-breaking Oxbridge offers |
St Swithun’s School in Winchester is delighted to announce that, for a record breaking fifth year in a row, over 10% of UCAS applicants from the current upper sixth and class of 2025 have received Oxbridge offers.
A total of 16% of students at the all-girls school have received offers to study at either Cambridge or Oxford. Overall, just under a third of students (32%) who applied to Oxbridge received an offer.
St Swithun’s students have received offers for an impressively wide range of courses including Biochemistry, English Language & Literature, German, History, History of Art, Human, Social and Political Sciences (HSPS), Law, Linguistics, Natural Sciences and Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).
Alongside the successful Oxbridge applications, U6 students have received offers to pursue pathways as diverse as their interests. Some of the highlights so far include offers to study Linguistics at the University of Chicago, Management at the University of Toronto, Art History at the University of St Andrews, Fashion at Institut de la Mode in Paris, and Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College in London.
Jane Gandee, headmistress at St Swithun’s School said, “We would like to offer our congratulations to everyone involved. This is a testament to the hard work of our students and to the support they receive from the sixth-form team here at St Swithun’s both in their applications and with interview preparation.”
Nick Fyfe, head of sixth form, added, “We are immensely proud of all of our students and will continue to support them whatever path they chose to tread, whether it is heading to some of the most prestigious universities here in the UK or heading overseas to explore new challenges.”
