Report shows percentage attaining admission to 'selective universities'
New figures published by the Sutton Trust show that independent schools in London and the South East are disproportionately represented at Oxford and Cambridge.
There are seven schools in the West and South West of London - including Notting Hill & Ealing High - which send over 80% of their sixth form pupils to what the Trust describes as selective universities. All of them are independent.
19 schools in the area send over 50% of their pupils to selective universities - just three from the state sector.
The state schools in this area which sent pupils to the top Universities include Drayton Manor @ 40%, Gumley and Twyford @32%, Cardinal Wiseman @26% and Gunnersbury @24%, Greenford @ 18% and Northolt @15% and Ellen Wilkinson @13%
Research has shown that students from London and the South East are dominating admissions to many top universities with students from other parts of the UK being in the minority in Oxford, Bristol, Warwick, King's College Lond and the LSE despite making up over 75% of the population.
Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust, said: “We know these stark inequalities in university progression rates are driven primarily by the exam results in schools, yet the data we are publishing today also reveals that university chances can vary dramatically for schools with similar average grades. Our hope is that by making these figures available, the spotlight on schools will widen to encompass the actual destinations of pupils after they have left, alongside their A-level results.”
Between them, Westminster School, Eton College, Hills Road Sixth Form College, St Pauls School and St Pauls Girls School produced 946 Oxbridge entrants over the period 2007-09 – accounting for over one in 20 of all Oxbridge admissions.
Meanwhile just under 2000 schools
and colleges with less than one Oxbridge entrant a year produced a total of 927 Oxbridge
entrants.
