Higher Education

Applying to Oxford or Cambridge

For students who wish to apply to Oxford or Cambridge we follow a structured programme to give them the best possibility of a successful application.

• Potential students are identified using their GCSE grades (students ideally need a minimum of 5 A*/A grades at GCSE in order to apply)

• Early in Y12 we invite speakers from Oxford and Cambridge to provide students with guidance about making their application, Summer School opportunities and preparing for their interview

• Students attend the annual Oxbridge Conference in March of Y12

• Students who decide to apply are given detailed support and guidance from their personal tutor and a subject specialist in preparing their application

• Students who apply are offered subject specific one to one coaching sessions to prepare them for entry tests and interviews

• If called for interview applicants are advised to take advantage of interview practice with subject specialists and members of the governing body
