All of us at Oakham are incredibly proud of their achievements.”

Eight Oakham students have offers from Cambridge University. They are Jessica Anand, Middle Eastern Studies with German; Max Bacon, Medicine; Natasha Branch, Natural Sciences; Matthew Counsell, Economics; Sam Ma, Mathematics; Simon Pratt and Nikita Sellers, Geography; Ed Tombs, Engineering.

Two have offers from Oxford. They are Tom Adlam, reading Geography and Claire Baillie, studying Classics.
