Bishop Ramsey students hopeful of achieving Oxbridge success

THREE Bishop Ramsey C of E School pupils have high hopes of securing places at prestigious Oxbridge universities, having received conditional offers.

So long as they achieve the required grades, Patrick Jull, 17 and Sami Shannon, 18, will read medicine and English at Oxford, while Naomi Arnold, 18, will read natural sciences at Cambridge.

And a team of year nine pupils from the school, in Hume Way, Ruislip, also have reason to celebrate after coming first in a regional science competition for the second year running.

Target Mars, held at Brunel University, saw six schools across the borough compete in science-based challenges to prove they were the best team capable of colonising the red planet.

Tasks included building a landing probe and creating a dune buggy to move around on Mars' surface.

Pupil Kelsey Allen, 14, said: "This competition has definitely encouraged me to think about working in space technology."
