Students at The Gryphon School in Sherborne are celebrating after receiving numerous university offers including five to study at Oxford or Cambridge.

Despite a challenging year, the hard work and dedication from the Year 13 students has paid off.
Head of Sixth Form Paul O’Donnell said: “From universities in Aberystwyth to York, in courses varying from acting to zoology, our students have done exceptionally well to receive prestigious offers. it is testament to their hard work, determination and focus in really trying circumstances.”

Cameron Moore will go on to study natural sciences at Cambridge, Harry Yeatman to study land economy at Cambridge, Josh Shortman to study history and politics at Cambridge, Bronwen Price to study law at Oxford and Katy Holland to study biomedicine at Oxford.

Competition for these places was even tougher than usual due to last year’s decision to revert to CAG grades, which meant that many universities had to require some students to defer their places.

Mr O’Donnell added: “As such, these outcomes are all the more impressive for our students.”

Headteacher Nicki Edwards said: “Our students should be extremely proud of themselves – we are certainly very proud of them!”
