While not all university decisions have yet been finalised, we are proud to report that every one of our nine medical applicants has already received at least one conditional offer to begin their studies this September. Collectively, these pupils have secured an impressive 21 offers so far, reflecting both their academic ability and their commitment to pursuing careers in healthcare.

Offers have been received from a wide range of highly regarded institutions in the UK and Ireland, including Aston, Birmingham, Brighton & Sussex, Cambridge, City St George’s, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Queen Mary University of London, University College London, and Sheffield (Dentistry). We are also pleased to see offers in allied pathways, with veterinary medicine offers from Surrey and medicine at RCSI Dublin, highlighting the breadth of ambitions and successes across the cohort.

These outcomes are especially significant given the intense competitiveness of medical, dental and veterinary courses, which demand not only outstanding academic performance but also strong personal motivation, resilience and a clear understanding of professional practice.

This success would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of Mrs Paterson, who leads our Foundation-wide medical pathway. Over the course of the application journey, she has devoted an extraordinary amount of time to supporting pupils – guiding them through the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) tests, delivering tailored interview preparation, and facilitating in-depth medical discussions to help them articulate their passion for healthcare.

Her commitment has played a crucial role in ensuring students felt confident, well-prepared and supported at every stage of the process, and we extend our sincere thanks for her outstanding contribution.

As we await the remaining decisions, we are immensely proud of all our applicants for the ambition, determination and professionalism they have shown. We wish them every success as they move towards the next exciting stage of their academic and professional journeys – and we look forward to celebrating their final destinations in due course.
