"They have worked extremely hard, undergoing a very demanding selection process, which has included pre-interview tests, rigorous interviews and additional ‘at-interview’ university tests."

He added: "We are very grateful to their dedicated teachers for the invaluable support provided, as well as to their parents for all of their encouragement. We would also like to thank the former CRGS students who also helped to inspire them and also provided support and advice.

"All the students who put themselves through this process, whether or not they have received Oxbridge offers, also deserve a mention – they have all gained a lot from the experience.

"We wish all five talented students (and indeed all of our Year 13 students) every success in the hard work that still lies ahead, studying to achieve the A Level grades which will allow

them to take up their places, in September 2019."
