The beginning of the Autumn Term seems set in the distant past as we approach the warmer climes of the Easter holidays, yet this is when the deadline fell for all applications for the UCAS ‘Early Deadline’. The St Mary’s UVI who put themselves forward to apply for Oxford, Cambridge, Medicine or Veterinary Medicine have since been through the rigorous and gruelling processes of Admissions Tests and rounds of interviews – with much success for their endeavours!

We congratulate Hannah, Sophia, Annabelle, Thea, Hattie and Deborah for achieving a huge 13 offers between them to read their highly competitive chosen subjects. These include Classics at Oxford; Psychology at Oxford; Veterinary Medicine at the Royal Veterinary College, Nottingham, Liverpool and Surrey; and Medicine at Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Nottingham, Birmingham, Dundee and Plymouth.

We also continue to celebrate an impressive range of top offers from other universities, setting our UVI pupils up well motivated to enter their Easter revision period with exciting prospects on the horizon.
