Two impressive Sixth Formers have secured places at the University of Oxford

Many students gain first choice university places, including across the Russell Group

Celebrations have been underway at Bacon’s College today as Sixth Formers receive their A Level and equivalent vocational results. This year, an impressive 30% of all A Level entries at the school were awarded the top grades of A* or A.

These outcomes have seen many students secure their first-choice university offers, including two Year 13s who have secured places at the University of Oxford. Danielle will be taking up a place to read English Language and Literature at St Edmund Hall College after achieving an A* and two As, while Finn will be joining St Catherine’s College to read Geography after achieving straight As.

Head Boy Finn said of his Oxford offer:

“I’m leaving Bacon’s College knowing that the teachers and those around me helped to get the very best out of me and I really appreciate everybody involved for that. I’m really looking forward to attending Oxford equipped with the knowledge that I’m well prepared due to my time spent here.”

Other students celebrating successful performances were:

• Tommy, whose straight As in Computer Science, Maths and Further Maths have secured him a place at King’s College London to study Computer Science;
• Naomi, who achieved A*s in English Literature and Art, Craft & Design, as well as an A in Philosophy;

James Wilson, Principal at Bacon’s College, said of the day’s celebrations:

“We are all immensely proud of this group of students celebrating their results today. Their achievements are a culmination of years of hard work and determination and reflect the character each of them has shown in their studies. It is particularly gratifying as ever to see so many of them secure the results they need to gain entry to their first choice universities, including some of the most competitive in the country. We look forward to following their successes in the years to come.”
