Calderdale students celebrate Oxbridge success

In total 24 students at the Huddersfield college have secured offers to either Oxford or Cambridge Universities to study subjects such as mathematics, history, English literature, architecture, philosophy and natural sciences.

The college sends more students to Oxford and Cambridge universities than any other school or college in Yorkshire and Humber and those applying to the universities receive a programme supporting their application from start to finish.

The college’s Oxbridge Coordinator, Richard Pember, said: “It’s incredibly rewarding to work with such a large number of truly gifted students, and to watch them develop intellectually and fulfil their potential is a bonus. The college provides full and diverse enrichment opportunities, from which all students benefit hugely.”
