How do KCS Wimbledon and City of London compare on Oxford offers / applications?
Comparison · Oxford offers / applications · 2024–2025. Edition of 12 Nov 2026.
The answer
There are too few years with comparable figures to judge a pattern in Oxford offer rates. You can still see each year’s figures below.
The figures
Not charted: fewer than 3 comparable years for any of these schools, too few to draw a line. The figures: KCS Wimbledon (2024: 25.33%; 2025: 28.75%); City of London (2024: 26.67%; 2025: 50%).
| Year | KCS Wimbledon (%) | City of London (%) | Gap (points) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 25.33 | 26.67 | −1.33 |
| 2025 | 28.75 | 50 | −21.25 |
Figures to two decimal places at most. A figure known only within the school’s rounding is shown as a range, never as its lower end.
Read this with the answer
- The rate compares applications and offers in the same admissions round. A school’s count of leavers going to Oxford cannot take the place of either figure.
- Published results describe different groups of pupils, chosen in different ways. They can’t show the effect of attending a school, or what one pupil would achieve.
- Only the years both schools can be compared on are used: 2024 and 2025. A missing or excluded year is not a zero result.
- Fewer than five shared years, which is too few for the period check: it needs five.
- These figures carry the record’s existing source checks, which are kept apart from background links. This edition didn’t reopen every original publication.
- Offers are divided by applications made from the same school. An offer is not an acceptance or a final destination. This edition uses Oxford years up to 2025 only, and only those whose applications and offers both have an exact source check.
- Historical results: the latest shared year is 2025. They can’t show 2026 results.
4 of the 4 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 0 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.
