Bromsgrove does not leave Oxbridge to chance. The school takes the preparation of pupils for Oxbridge entrance very seriously and, indeed, the programme for such pupils is a continuation of the extension courses we run from the Lower Fourth to the Fifth form. 

Pupils who are considering Oxbridge entrance receive support on three levels.  Firstly, departments arrange additional lessons for these pupils in order to expand their horizons and to deepen their passion for and interest in the subject.  Secondly, as for the more junior pupils, a variety of enrichment sessions takes place on Thursday afternoons which the pupils are encouraged to attend.  These include a book club, a physics and engineering workshop and a session aimed at looking at issues pertaining to medics, dentists and vets.  Thirdly, there is help and guidance from the Head of Oxbridge about personal statements, choice of college and the preparation of work to be submitted for discussion at interview.  The second half of the Michaelmas term is devoted to regular interview practice. 

Over the past few years many Bromsgrove pupils have entered both universities to read all manner of subjects including Mathematics, Engineering, Geography and Modern Languages.
