Orlando and Thomas both have offers to read Engineering at Oriel College and University College Oxford, respectively.
Wells’ Head of Careers, Ben Taylor, said: ‘The offers to Oxford and Cambridge are the result of genuine interest and dedication by these students over a long period of time. The same can also be said of approximately 80 other students within the school who are holding offers, often to other major universities, where we are sure they will flourish and be happy. The whole year group has been a pleasure to work with.’
