The students at Greenhead College in Huddersfield have achieved an incredible feat, securing offers from both Cambridge and Oxford universities. A total of 14 students from Greenhead College have received offers from Oxford, while 12 have been offered places at Cambridge. This outstanding achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these students, as well as the support and guidance provided by the college's experienced team of teachers, tutors, and support staff.
Commenting on the achievement, Mo Bunter, Principal of Greenhead College, said: "We are incredibly proud of all our students who have secured offers from both Oxford and Cambridge universities. These offers are a testament to the hard work and commitment they have given to their studies, alongside the development of their wider skills, resilience, and independence through the cultural capital they experience whilst at Greenhead College. Our Oxbridge programme supports students from their initial ambition to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge, through to after they have left the College. This support from a very experienced team of teachers, tutors, and support staff ensures that students are given a wide range of opportunities to help them to achieve their full potential, placing them very competitively in the Oxbridge application process. We are very excited for their next steps in this process."
The College's Oxbridge Programme Lead, Richard Pember, also praised the students' achievements. He said: "Over decades, Greenhead students have built an outstanding, nationwide reputation for continuing their studies and flourishing at the very highest level. I’d like to congratulate them on behalf of all the staff at the College."
Greenhead College's Oxbridge programme provides tailored support, including specialist subject preparation, admissions test guidance, interview preparation, and enrichment opportunities, ensuring students are fully equipped to compete at the highest level. One student who has received an Oxford University offer, Rebecca, spoke about the support she received throughout the process.
She said: "Paul (Head of Modern Foreign Languages) has been an incredible source of support, hosting weekly sessions to prepare us for interviews, supporting admissions test preparation, and helping with smaller queries along the way. Applying for Oxbridge has not only boosted my academic confidence but also my social confidence. It has created a small community of people who are genuinely passionate about their subjects, which has been inspiring. It’s been great to share and discuss that passion so enthusiastically."
The students with offers for Cambridge are: Aidan, Edwin, Findlay, Freya, Mythreyi, Noah, Okeke, Omar, Solomon, Thomas, Tolisha, and Zaid. The students with offers for Oxford are: Adam, Chloe, Elena, Elsie, Harriet, Isabelle, Jessica, Kinga, Luke, Rebecca, Rohan, Saoirse, and Sofiia.
