Congratulations to our students who have earned places at an outstanding range of universities for 2026 entry in another highly competitive admissions year.
Within the UK, 22 students will be heading to Oxford or Cambridge, again in line with previous years.
Places at Russell Group universities remain particularly strong, with London proving especially popular this year. Twenty-five per cent of the cohort will study in the capital, including 71 students taking up places at UCL, King’s College London, LSE or Imperial College London.
The creative arts are well represented this year, with 11 students starting art, music and drama degrees. One student has secured a competitive degree apprenticeship in Engineering, combining paid employment with university study.
International destinations remain an important part of this picture with 20 per cent of our cohort heading abroad. This year, 36 students are taking up places in the USA, a figure that remains steady compared with previous years, while a further 16 will study at universities in Europe, Asia, Canada or Australia.
Our US outcomes have been particularly impressive, with students accepting places at highly selective institutions including Cornell, Georgetown, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Tulane, NYU, USC, UC Berkeley, UCLA and Rice as well as Liberal Arts colleges such as Pomona, Bowdoin and Middlebury.
Beyond the US, our leavers will be attending universities across the world, including Bocconi, EPFL, TU Delft, EHL Hospitality Business School, ESCP Business School, the Universidad Europea de Andalucía, and the University of St.Gallen in Europe, McGill University in Canada and Tsinghua University in China. Two students will pursue the dual BA programme offered by Sciences Po and Columbia University, and one the dual degree between HEC and Bocconi.
This year’s university destinations represent a tremendous collective achievement. At a time when the value and purpose of higher education continue to be widely debated, we are delighted to see our students pursuing such a diverse range of courses and opportunities at outstanding institutions around the world. We congratulate them on all they have achieved and wish them every success as they embark on the next stage of their education.
