THREE students in their final year at Warrington’s Priestley College have been made offers to go to either Oxford or Cambridge university in September.
Joseph Brown, aged 17 from Penketh is currently studying English Language, Further Maths, Politics and Law and has an offer to study Law at St Edmund’s Hall, Oxford. 
Near neighbour, Katherine Stephenson, aged 18 from Great Sankey is currently studying Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Accounts and has an offer to study Biochemistry at Queen’s College, Oxford.
Grace Macklin, aged 18 and from Stretton is currently studying Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Maths and has an offer to study Natural Sciences at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
Their success follows on from three ex-students from Priestley who are already enjoying their time at Oxbridge having started last September.
Jake Whittaker is reading History at Oxford, Matt Bird is studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics, also at Oxford while Gavin Murphy is at Cambridge studying Anthropology and Archaeology.
Mark Salmon, senior tutor at Priestley said: “We are delighted for the students who have received offers from Oxbridge. They have all benefited from extensive support throughout their time at Priestley.
“There is a comprehensive programme in place at the college to raise aspirations and develop skills and confidence in all students and we will now be supporting them all in achieving their grades, so they can take up this unique opportunity.”
