Tuesday 29 January 2013 Twelve students from the Grammar school at Leeds (GSAL) are celebrating university offers from Oxford or Cambridge for 2013 admission. Six boys and five girls have received conditional offers, with a further offer of a place for a student from last year’s Upper Sixth making it a dozen. Offers for Cambridge are held by: Philip Boyle-Smith at Trinity College to read mathematics; Leonora Cherry at Magdalene to read Human, Social and Political Science; Jack McNichol at Girton to read English literature; Flo O’Conor at Gonville and Caius to read engineering; James Roberts at Pembroke to read English and Christopher Wilkinson at Queens’ College to read law. Oxford offers are held by: Elizabeth Chittenden at Christ Church to read history; Reuben Ackerman at Brasenose, also to read history; Tom Emerton at University College to read PPE; Isabel Kempner at Oriel to read French and philosophy; and Beth Tapsfield at Keble to read biomedical science. Daniel Christen, who left GSAL after taking his A levels last summer, has secured a place at Oriel College to read PPE. Christine Jagger, Head of Student Development at GSAL said: “We are delighted for the students. They have worked hard throughout their school career and are a real credit to themselves. The selection process is very demanding, so we are very proud of their success.” Pictured: Back (L-R): Christopher Wilkinson, Philip Boyle-Smith, Reuben Ackerman, James Roberts and Tom Emerton; front (L-R): Elizabeth Chittenden, Leonora Cherry, Beth Tapsfield and Isabel Kempner.
