This has meant that a significant majority are now looking forward to making the transition to higher education, mostly at their first-choice Universities.
In 2017 the Minster School had six students successfully secure places at either Oxford or Cambridge, and this year the school have matched that number.
Scarlett Clemmow (Music), Ben Jackson (Medicine), Isabella Lukic (Mathematics), Eve McMullen (History and Politics), Rosa Phelps (Modern and Medieval Languages), Meghan Swarbrooke (Philosophy, Politics and
Economics) will all now move onto studies at Oxbridge.
