Fourteen students from St Thomas the Apostle Sixth Form in Nunhead have been invited for a highly sought-after interview at Oxford, Cambridge or medical school.
The students have been supported by STAC’s Beyond 18 programme, where they have each had a personalised programme to prepare them for the application and selection process
Although it varies by subject, 30 to 40 per cent of applications to Oxford are called to interview and around 70 per cent for Cambridge.
