THREE students from York College are celebrating Oxbridge success.
The trio have received conditional offers to go to Oxford and Cambridge universities this year.
Joe Towse, who went to Millthorpe School, hopes to study law at Magdalen College, Oxford; Ben Middleton, who went to Manor CE School, hopes to study philosophy, politics and economics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford and George Fletcher, formerly of Canon Lee School, hopes to study maths at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Miggy Biller, head of division for maths and co-ordinator of Oxbridge applications at York College, said: “Student success and achievement is the main focus for all our students and we are delighted that Joe, Ben and George have been given conditional offers to Oxford and Cambridge universities. They have done extremely well to be selected and we will work hard to support them to ensure they attain the grades they require.”
