THREE students from the same school are celebrating after receiving offers from Oxford and Cambridge.

Burgess Hill Girls pupil Emily Dunsby secured an offer to read modern and medieval languages at King’s College, University of Cambridge.

She must achieve an A* and two A’s in her French, German and History A-Levels this summer.

Fellow student Charlotte Fallon received an offer to study history and politics at Regents Park College, University of Oxford, with three A’s required in her history, politics and English literature A-Levels.

“I was initially shocked but quickly delighted when I received my offer,” Charlotte said.

“I'm incredibly excited at the possibility of attending somewhere filled with people equally passionate about their subjects and about learning as I am.

“I can't thank my teachers enough for all the support they gave me throughout the admissions process.”

Meanwhile, Esme Hobbs hopes to read classics at Corpus Christi, University of Cambridge, after being offered a place.

She requires two A*’s and an A in her Latin, classical civilisation and English literature A-Levels.

“I hope to be able to connect with people who love my subject just as much as I do, and to learn lots of really interesting new things in great detail, which would be incredible,” she said.

“I feel amazed at having been offered a place, and absolutely honoured to have the opportunity. Now it's just about working towards the A-Levels.”

Burgess Hill Girls headteacher Liz Laybourn said she is proud of all her students in a year full of “uncertainty”.

“It is an absolute credit to the girls that they have managed to stay focused and worked so hard to get these offers given the disruption all pupils have been through thanks to the pandemic,” she said.

“You have to remember that uncertainty has hung over their heads about whether exams will take place for so long, which can be really distracting.

“Yet they have remained calm and stuck to their studies. We are so proud of them.”
