schools. In 2019, 24 CRGS students gained access to these highly sought- after courses.
We encourage our most able students to apply for Oxford or Cambridge. Our Oxbridge Co-ordinator ensures that students are fully prepared to meet the challenges of the rigorous application process. This includes annual visits to both Oxford and Cambridge, hosting an Oxbridge Conference where students can receive advice from Admissions Tutors, as well as help and support to develop the skills required to tackle specialist admissions tests and face
the interviews with confidence.
Many of our ex-students who now attend Oxford or Cambridge support our current students in the application process. Every year, CRGS students attend a range of Summer Schools and Conferences.
We also provide specific support for students applying to other extremely competitive courses such as Law. This includes helping to prepare students for the LNAT and Thinking Skills Assessment. We also have a strong track record in the Bar Mock Trial Competition with our teams reaching the National Finals at the Old Bailey on several occasions.
Our enthusiastic subject specialists are keen to help students push themselves outside their comfort zones. For example, Maths students are given the opportunity to take part in the UKMT and are supported to take STEP papers where appropriate.
“I really enjoyed my time at CRGS Sixth Form. The support my friends and I received from our teachers really helped us succeed. The MedDenVet programme was extremely beneficial in preparing for my university interviews, meaning that I received four oers for Veterinary Medicine. Thank you CRGS!”
