Each figure has its own record: Applications · Offers · Acceptances

These applications are counted through the school that submitted them. An offer, an acceptance and a place taken up describe different steps, so adding them together would count some pupils more than once.

Oxford and Cambridge combined

Calculated from each university’s counts for the same application cycle: offers ÷ applications. These are applications from the school, not the share of its pupils going to Oxbridge.

Every university record, by year

Applying, receiving an offer, accepting it and taking up a place are different steps. Each has its own table so that you can follow what the school actually reported. The summary tables are on this page; each year’s named universities, courses and subjects have a page of their own.

Cambridge applications, offers and acceptances by year

Read each row as one admissions round for applicants from Downe House. The offer count, the number accepted or admitted and the number who eventually went are separate steps. The original uses 5 to conceal small counts. We show those as 1–5 because the exact number is not published. The original prints small counts as <3. We show them as printed because the exact number is not published. The original prints small counts as <4. We show them as printed because the exact number is not published. Any row whose original we have not checked is labelled.

  1. What it counts: Applications to Oxford from this school Applications: 17 Where it’s from: Original university annual dashboard checked on 15 October 2026 Worth knowing: Annual cycle selected in the public university dashboard, then the named school row read visually. The dashboard cells shown in grey are withheld under disclosure control; they are not zeros and no hidden value is inferred. Applications are associated with the UCAS apply centre, not necessarily the school’s current leaver cohort. Offers and acceptances are separate outcomes, not university destinations. How the source defines it: Exact applications and offers from the same annual university source row; any offer rate is calculated from these inputs.
