St Anne’s warmly congratulates everyone receiving their A-Level results today. We are excited to welcome our 2025 cohort – a talented and accomplished group of students from a wide range of social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. This includes students who are care experienced, differently-abled, and neurodiverse, joining us from across the UK and around the world.
These students come to us having experienced varied educational journeys, from schools with little exposure to Oxford admissions through to independent schools, grammar schools, comprehensive schools, sixth form colleges, and academies. An increasing proportion come from less advantaged backgrounds, reflecting the College’s and University’s commitment to ensuring that academically gifted students have fair access to Oxford. The diversity within this year’s intake reflects the founding values of St Anne’s – widening educational opportunity and offering a home to the brightest and most ambitious students, wherever they come from.
We are also pleased to once again welcome students onto the bridging programme Opportunity Oxford, which supports some less advantaged students in making a smooth transition from school to university, and onto the Astrophoria Foundation Year for the third time. St Anne’s has supported these University initiatives from their inception, and is proud to be part of them.
Once again, congratulations to this year’s school leavers on their hard work — you should feel proud of all you’ve achieved. The next months will be an exciting next step, wherever your journey takes you. We look forward to welcoming our new freshers very soon – and remind prospective applicants that the final University of Oxford Open Day for 2025 will be on 19 September, an ideal opportunity to see if St Anne’s could be the place for you from 2026.
