Oxbridge offers for hard-working Halifax Sixth Formers

The Sixth Form students at North Halifax Grammar School are all set to join the prestigious universities.

Molly, a keen literature, language and history student and debater, has been offered a place to study English at Oxford.

Lucy, another debater and last year’s head prefect and instigator of the school’s law society, has been offered a place to study Law.

Finlay – another keen debater and student of Geography, History and English Language - has been offered a place to do Geography at Cambridge, alongside Ibrahim – a keen scientist and mathematician – who has been offered a place to study Physics.

Meg, a keen linguist and mathematician has been offered a place at Cambridge to do Modern and Medieval Languages and Esme - a history, literature and art enthusiast, and debater - has been offered a place to study History of Art.

Another student has been pooled and may gain a place in the summer to study Computer Science.

A spokesperson for the school said: “All of these students have worked so hard in the Sixth Form, demonstrating a determined commitment not only to their studies but also taking advantage of a range of opportunities - whether that be running book and language clubs, entering academic competitions, taking part in D of E and the articulation competition, or visiting Auschwitz and Iceland.

"We are proud of their success and wish them well as they prepare for their A-Levels to secure the grades needed to take up their places. Well done to them all.”
