Twenty-six students at Greenhead College in Huddersfield are celebrating the offer of places at Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Fourteen students have had offers from Oxford and 12 have had offers from Cambridge.
It’s another success for the college’s Oxbridge programme which guides students through every stage of the application process.
Mo Bunter, principal of Greenhead College, said: “We are incredibly proud of all our students who have secured offers from both Oxford and Cambridge universities.
“These offers are a testament to the hard work and commitment they have given to their studies, alongside the development of their wider skills, resilience and independence through the cultural capital they experience whilst at Greenhead College.
“Our Oxbridge programme supports students from their initial ambition to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge, through to after they have left the college.
“This support from a very experienced team of teachers, tutors and support staff ensures that students are given a wide range of opportunities to help them to achieve their full potential, placing them very competitively in the Oxbridge application process.
“We are very excited for their next steps in this process.”
The college’s Oxbridge programme lead Richard Pember also praised the students’ achievements.
He said: “Over decades, Greenhead students have built an outstanding, nationwide reputation for continuing their studies and flourishing at the very highest level. I’d like to congratulate them on behalf of all the staff at the college.”
Greenhead College’s Oxbridge programme provides tailored support, including specialist subject preparation, admissions test guidance, interview preparation and enrichment opportunities, ensuring students are fully equipped to compete at the highest level.
