As of February 10, 2026, a total of fourteen students from Greenhead College have been granted offers to attend Oxford University, while twelve students have secured places at Cambridge. These offers represent significant milestones in their educational journeys.
Mo Bunter, the Principal of Greenhead College, expressed immense pride in these students’ achievements. He remarked, "We are incredibly proud of all our students who have secured offers from both Oxford and Cambridge universities. These offers are a testament to the hard work and commitment they have given to their studies, alongside the development of their wider skills, resilience, and independence through the cultural capital they experience whilst at Greenhead College. Our Oxbridge programme supports students from their initial ambition to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge, through to after they have left the College."
This supportive environment is bolstered by a dedicated team of educators, tutors, and support staff who provide a wealth of opportunities for students, thereby positioning them competitively within the Oxbridge application landscape. Bunter added, "We are very excited for their next steps in this process."
Richard Pember, the lead for the College’s Oxbridge Programme, also acknowledged the students’ successes.

This comprehensive approach ensures that students are well-equipped to excel in a highly competitive environment.
One student, Rebecca, who has received an offer from Oxford University, shared her perspective on the invaluable support she has received throughout her journey. She noted, "Paul (Head of Modern Foreign Languages) has been an incredible source of support, hosting weekly sessions to prepare us for interviews, assisting with admissions test preparation, and addressing smaller queries along the way. Applying for Oxbridge has not only boosted my academic confidence but also my social confidence. It has created a small community of people who are genuinely passionate about their subjects, which has been inspiring. It’s been great to share and discuss that passion so enthusiastically."
