Four exceptional sixth form students from Highbridge’s King Alfred School Academy have been called up for interviews by the Oxford University after they achieved excellent success in its rigorous application process.
Jack Murphy and George Simmons have applied to read Economics and Management while Charlie Valentine and Anya Butler have applied to study Experimental Psychology.
The news comes as a sixth form Open Morning is being held today (Saturday) and amid record numbers receiving generous offers from some of the UK’s top universities.
The sixth form is enjoying record numbers of 110 students starting this year, and with some of the south west‘s best performance statistics.
