Dorothy is looking forward to taking up a place at Oxford University.
After achieving outstanding A Level results of two A*s and an A, in Sociology, Politics, and Mathematics, Dorothy has secured a place at Oxford University to study Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Dorothy said:
I looked at UCAS earlier because that opens at 8 o’ clock. Before I got onto UCAS it was all nerves, but once I’d opened it and knew I’d got the place, I was excited to find out my results. To be able to see those grades, because they were better than what I needed, it was really a big sense of joy.”

Fellow A Level student James is looking forward to starting an apprenticeship in nuclear engineering with Rolls Royce, after achieving an A* in Chemistry and A’s in Physics and Mathematics. James said:
I was looking to go into engineering, whether it was uni or an apprenticeship. What Rolls Royce are doing on the nuclear side intrigued me. I’ve been interested in nuclear for a while, because I believe it is a good technology. I found the apprenticeship and thought it was good that you get the degree paid for.”
