TWO sixth form students from The King Alfred School Academy are celebrating after securing a place at the University of Oxford after a rigorous application process.
George Simmons will read Economics and Management and Anya Butler will study Experimental Psychology at the university in September.
The pair are among record numbers receiving generous offers from some of the UK’s top universities with the sixth form enjoying huge increases in numbers and excellent performance statistics.
This year 105 started the sixth form at the school, an increase of more than 100 per cent.
Head of Sixth Form Jonathan Gaskell said: “Massive well done to George and Anya. They have done exceptionally well.
“The students across the year are just brilliant and all these tremendous successes demonstrate the ambition and hard work by students and staff.”
