SIXTH form students from Lancaster Royal Grammar School are celebrating having received offers from Oxford and Cambridge University.

Timothy Ye (computer science), Ben Knott (engineering) and Andrew Ross (economics) have received offers from Cambridge University while Francis Bristow (German), Gabriel Jotischy-Hull (French and Russian) and William Burrow (Physics) have been offered places at Oxford.

"Applying to Oxford and Cambridge is one of the most competitive academic challenges for any sixth former," said headmaster Dr Chris Pyle. "I am delighted for those who have received offers, and wish them every success as they work towards the summer exams.

"Well done to all of our sixth formers who have gained offers from a wide range of top universities, medical schools and high quality apprenticeships. I hope that their success will also inspire many younger students to aim equally high.”

Sarah Haigh, head of sixth form, said: “These boys all worked incredibly hard on their applications and deserve this good news. I'm sure they'll thrive on their chosen courses at Oxford and Cambridge."

Congratulations go to all of our Upper Sixth students who are currently receiving offers on a range of highly competitive courses at many of the top universities around the country.
