A Triple Celebration for Oxbridge Offers

It is with great pleasure that we celebrate the outstanding achievements of three of our students who have received offers from Oxford University. Ben D has been offered a place to study Earth Science, Samson H has secured an offer to study Biochemistry, and Arthur T has received an offer to study History and Politics.

The rigorous process of applying to Oxford is known to be demanding, and all three students express their huge excitement about this opportunity and their gratitude for the support provided by Ms Selvey, Mrs Richards and the entire Sixth Form Team.

Samson, a boarder from the Isles of Scilly, is a skilled musician who has embraced the many bands and opportunities offered by the vibrant music scene at Truro School, including playing in his own band, the Silver Sax Jazz Quartet, and performing at many school events. Both Samson and Ben attribute much of their inspiration for their chosen courses to Dr Older, Head of Chemistry, and described Miss Hope’s Geology department as “Out of this World.”

Ben, who is also a dedicated rugby player and boxer, is currently working on his EPQ on ‘Hypnosis in Sport’ and is also awaiting responses from several international universities.

Arthur, who might be recognised from his role in Chicago last term, has also been a chorister, performed in ‘Am I Nuts’ at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, and is a member of the brilliant school jazz band and the boys’ barbershop. All these boys have played very active roles in the Sixth Form life and the vast co-curricular programme.

Congratulations to these three exceptional students for their remarkable achievements. We wish them the very best in their A-Levels and look forward to hearing about their future successes.
