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.

St Paul’s Girls’ School: Oxford and Cambridge applications, offers and offer rates
Cycle	Applications	Offers	Offer rate	Inputs and sources
2025	99	54	54.5%	Oxford and Cambridge records: St Paul’s Girls’ School, 2025 Oxford record 1 Oxford record 2 Cambridge record 3

Each input is counted once. Where a university conceals a small count or the records disagree, the affected total and rate are left uncalculated. Rates are rounded to one decimal place.

Other named destinations

2025: up to three universities from the newest dated destination records, in alphabetical order. These are individual published figures; overlapping records aren’t added together.

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.

Latest year

2026

For 2026 we have 7 records of where leavers went: 1 with figures, 6 naming a university without a figure. Each comes from its own publication and may describe a different group of leavers, so they are not added together.

22 · United States universities 2026 leavers continuing to US universities Source and full record ↗

6 universities named for 2026 without a count. A university named without a count may mean one pupil or many.

Other Oxford and Cambridge measures over time

Each chart names its own measure and scale. Oxford offer rates and final Oxford and Cambridge destinations remain separate from Cambridge admissions rounds.

Oxford offer rate · 2006–2025

Points too close to tap here. Open a year’s source from the table below.

A break in a line means a year has no comparable figure; nothing is estimated. The figures behind the chart are listed below.

What schools reported, year by year · 2006–2026

A filled square means we have found at least one figure of that kind for the year. It shows which information is available; it does not describe how well leavers did.

86 records in 18 summary tables.

We don’t add tables together: publications can overlap. A university named without a count may mean one pupil or many. A dash means no figure.

Named universities and courses, year by year

Each year has its own page, with every university, course and subject the publications name for it and the source of each.

What does another school publish?

Schools do not all publish the same information. This view helps you see which years and stages each covers before trying to compare their outcomes.

Why do published Oxford totals differ?

Because they count different things, and need not count the same people, even when they carry the same year. Applications, offers and acceptances belong to an admissions round, while a school’s own list of where its leavers went is a record of a leaving year. So anyone puzzling over an Oxford total should ask what it counts, and which year it means, before setting it beside another.

What does a top-grade percentage leave out?

A top-grade percentage is one cut, made at the very top. Wider bands such as A*–B show more of the spread, and the count of entries shows how many exams stood behind it, which sharpens the question, though none of them can say how much of a result the school itself caused. Before trusting whichever school the top grade puts first, it pays to move the line down a grade or two and look for the count.
