Two Keswick School students are set to study at two of the country's most famous universities.

Natalie Williams and Jos Higgins are ready to sit their A-levels this year and they have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge.

Natalie is hoping to read physics at Oxford while Jos looks to study maths at Cambridge.

Jos, who has been offered a place at Trinity College, Cambridge said: “I was delighted to receive an offer to study at Cambridge. I am grateful for the support provided by those whom have taught me, especially Mr Campion, the head of maths, who has provided me with encouragement for the past two years.

"I am now focusing on my upcoming exams in order to get the best grades I can and hopefully meet the conditions of my offer.”

Over the past couple of years Keswick School Sixth Form has developed a unique programme of support for Oxbridge applicants. Open Days, guest speakers and a three day visit to Queen’s College, Oxford form just part of the programme.

Dr Foody, Head of Year 13, added: “Keswick School Sixth Form students have an enviable record of gaining offers at top universities including Oxbridge and the Russell group.

"These offers are in subjects ranging from veterinary science and engineering to English literature, history and law.

"We offer personalised and focused support for all our A-level students irrespective of the university applied to or pathway chosen.”
