Oxbridge success for Blundell’s pupils

Four pupils at Blundell’s School, Tiverton, are celebrating after receiving offers from Oxford and Cambridge universities.

Ben Ames has an offer to read Earth Sciences at Exeter College, Oxford and Silvia Mills (Post A level applicant) to read Philosophy and Linguistics at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, while Natalie Cotton and Eleanor Ansell have both had offers from Cambridge – Natalie to read Natural Sciences at Newnham and Eleanor to read  Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Homerton College.

Blundell’s Head, Nicola Huggett, said ‘This is a terrific achievement by Ben, Silvia, Natalie and Eleanor and they have worked incredibly hard for these much deserved offers. We are very proud of them and of all nine pupils who were interviewed for places at Oxford or Cambridge.

Blundell’s has now had twelve successful applications to Oxbridge in the last three years and this is a tribute to everyone – families, teachers, tutors and our Oxbridge coordinators – who have supported the pupils while they have studied here.’
