Go to right school to get Oxbridge place

Four schools and one college sent more students to Oxbridge over three years than 2000 schools and colleges across the UK, according to a report on university admissions by the Sutton Trust.

Between them, Westminster School, Eton College, Hills Road Sixth Form College, St Pauls School and St Pauls Girls School produced 946 Oxbridge entrants over the period 2007-2009 – accounting for over one in 20 of all Oxbridge admissions. Meanwhile just under 2000 schools and colleges with less than one Oxbridge entrant a year produced a total of 927 Oxbridge entrants.

These figures are driven primarily by differences in the A-level results, but the study also shows different success rates for schools with similar average examination results.
