King’s Worcester Continues Remarkable Success Rate at Oxbridge
King’s Worcester has announced that five of its Sixth Form students have received Oxbridge offers, taking the total number of offers received since 2021 to 30.
The School’s success in securing Oxbridge offers continues to buck the trend for independent schools, with King’s Worcester’s offer rate standing at 25%, significantly higher than average.
The full list of students offered places is:
- Oliver H: Girton College, Cambridge - English Literature
- Holly R: Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge - Archaeology
- Tobias A: New College, Oxford - Modern Languages
- Samantha C: Balliol College, Oxford - Maths and Computer Science
- Sophie J: New College, Oxford – Chemistry
Head of Foundation, Mr Ben Charles, said: '
Huge congratulations to each of these students, who have worked incredibly hard to receive their Oxbridge offers. The offers not only reflect their hard work and achievement academically, but also the wide range of skills they have developed through our rich and varied Sixth Form offering.'
'We believe that education is more than academic achievement alone; it is about forming individuals who are curious, caring, and confident. We strive to provide our pupils with the skills, the support and the opportunities for them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.'
King’s Worcester prides itself on its student support structure for Oxbridge applications, which begins in the Lower Sixth Form. This includes wider reading presentations delivered by students via the Sixth Form academic society, a dedicated Oxford and Cambridge preparation day in the Summer Term of their Lower Sixth year, and one-to-one meetings with Dr McLaverty-Head.
Alongside success in Oxbridge application, King’s Sixth Form students have a strong track record of gaining places at leading universities, with over three quarters of students going to Russell Group universities, such as the University of Reading, University of Exeter and Durham University, and 98% securing their first-choice university place.
In addition, the school provides extensive support for students exploring apprenticeships and alternative opportunities post-Sixth Form. Several Upper Sixth students have already been offered apprenticeships, including one student who has been offered a highly competitive Audit Apprenticeship at KPMG, and another who will be taking on a professional rugby contract alongside a land management apprenticeship.
