Brampton Manor academy in Newham is celebrating a record number of students, many ethnic minorities, being offered places to study at Oxford and Cambridge this year.
Executive Principal, Dr Dayo Olukoshi, said: “We were delighted when last year we sent 20 students to Oxbridge, having seen the number increase gradually from just one offer in 2014. For this to have more than doubled again is phenomenal but does not surprise us – our vision has always been to never put limits on what our students can achieve, and I think these offers reflect just that.”
