Fiona said: “I was in complete shock when I found out and it still hasn’t sunk in yet.

“It was a huge confidence boost to hear back that I was successful, and I am thrilled and so privileged to be able to study there in September.

“I had never thought that there would be a possibility for me to study at Oxford and it took a great deal of thought before I plucked up the courage to make an application.

“It was always a risk to apply, one thing I had learnt was that if I didn’t apply I’d never know.

“My family are all delighted and have been very supportive throughout the whole application process. It is nice to be able to say I’ve done the family proud.”

College principal Martin Raby said: “We are exceptionally proud of the successes of our students, especially with the fantastic results in subjects such as Psychology, which aren’t usually considered an art school offering. These results are testament to the students’ commitment and hard work.”
