| This year's successful applicants. |
Pupils attempt Oxbridge entrance at Canford as part of a process where they study their chosen subject, under the guidance of a teacher, at greater depth than is possible in the course of preparation for A level exams. This is an exciting journey which has great rewards for all who undertake it, whether or not they eventually gain a place at Oxford or Cambridge. But in the context of increasing pressure on places (the number of applicants to Oxbridge has risen by nearly 50% over the past ten years), our record year is truly impressive. We are delighted with our pupils’ success against the odds, which reflects at least a year’s work in preparation for their application.
In Summer 2008 eleven Canford pupils took up places at Oxbridge, making a total of nearly sixty places over the last four years.
