Fellow student Andromeda Walker has received a conditional offer from Cambridge to study Geography, reflecting her passion for the subject, research interests and strong interview performance.

Head of Post-16 Wendy Stephens praised the pair’s achievement.

“We are incredibly proud of Alice and Andromeda. Receiving conditional offers from Oxford and Cambridge is a remarkable accomplishment and testament to their hard work, determination and intellectual curiosity,” she said.

“Their success also reflects the dedication of our staff in supporting students to aim high and pursue ambitious pathways.”

Both students will take up their places if they achieve the required A-Level grades this summer.
