In a statement on the school's website it says:
"Competition for Oxbridge places is extremely fierce and many very strong candidates do not receive offers. We are very pleased, therefore, that such a large number of students, with significant support from their teachers, have been able to secure offers this year.
"CONGRATULATIONS to Charles Stewart and Jacob Veerapen in Year 13, who have both won places, and generous funding packages, at prestigious Ivy League universities in America – Charles at Brown University, Rhode Island and Jacob at Columbia University, New York City. Competition for places and funding at top American universities is intense, and the application process is very demanding, so we are delighted that these Wilson’s students, supported by the hard work of their teachers, have been successful."
