Seventeen students from Bolton School's Sixth Form have been
celebrating, having received offers to study at Oxford and
Cambridge Universities from Autumn 2009. Nine students from the
Boys' Division and eight students from the Girls' Division have
been offered places at the prestigious universities.
Mr Philip Britton, Headmaster of the Boys' Division, said: "I am
delighted for these students, the offers are a recognition of the
hard work undertaken by both them and their teachers. I am equally
pleased for the many other boys who have received top class offers
from the UK's leading universities. Entry to the very best
universities is no longer just about being able to show academic
potential, applicants must also be strong characters with skills
and interests outside the classroom. Having been at the School for
six months now, I am convinced that Bolton School is second to none
in offering a vast range of opportunities and activities to help
build characters and CVs."
Headmistress of the Girls' Division, Mrs Gill Richards, said:
"As is commensurate with past years, nearly all girls have been
made offers from their chosen universities and onto their desired
course. Such offers are a strong endorsement of the education that
is on offer at Bolton School. I am very pleased for the girls and
their teachers."
