TWENTY-two students from King Edward VI School in Stratford are Oxbridge bound.
Cambridge University has offered places to Jess Long, Ben McBride, Kate Riley, Tom Smith and Joe Warner.
Oxford University has offered places to Annie Appleyard, Matt Cooke, Aarav Desai, Stephanie Edelsten, Zak Field, Matt Gowland, Aditya Gupta, Leon John, Pavle Lazic, Lily Marsh, Archie Mathers, Eddie Mitchell, Ilter Piskin, Rohan Rajathurai, Kiyan Sonecha, Emily Meixner and Tilly Wilkinson.
Headmaster Bennet Carr said, “Applying to Oxford or Cambridge is uniquely challenging due to the intensity and selectivity of the process. It is not sufficient for a student to simply have a strong academic profile which meets the highly competitive entry requirements.
“They need to demonstrate a genuine passion for their chosen subject, whether that be via evidence-based personal statements, subject-specific entrance exams or challenging interviews, where they are up against the stiffest of opposition.”
