University destinations
The College aims to help all pupils reach the university of their choice. A quarter of applicants go on to study at Oxford or Cambridge and the majority of pupils attend a Russell Group or global top 100 university. Over the past two years, 31 pupils have taken up places at a range of top North American universities. These are our top destinations for the last ten years.
