Fiona Price, TBSHS Post-18 and Oxbridge Co-ordinator, commented, “We are delighted that our students continue to be highly successful in gaining Oxbridge offers across both Science and Humanities subjects. These students have worked exceptionally hard through all the unique difficulties of the Covid pandemic which affected their GCSE years and saw them unable to sit actual exams. Talented individuals, they have made full use of all the support offered by our staff and of the numerous enrichment opportunities, virtual and in-person, to develop their academic ability, such as involvement with societies, external speakers, summer schools, and wider reading. We hope that their continued hard work will result in their places are confirmed in the summer.”
