«Breaking News» Eight of Britain's elite schools sent more pupils to Oxbridge than 75 per cent of the country

Eight elite schools sent as many pupils to Oxbridge over the last three years as three-quarters of all the schools in the country, figures show.

Analysis by educational charity The Sutton Trust found that despite efforts to widen access at the universities, admissions are still dominated by a tiny number of schools.

One was Eton, which charges £40,000 a year and lists David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg as former pupils.

Every year, Eton sends between 60 and 100 pupils to either Oxford or Cambridge.

St Paul's for Boys also ranked in the top eight, sending 53 to Oxbridge last year; they charge fees of £37,000

Also included was £39,000-a-year Westminster, which sends 70 to 80 to Oxbridge, and £37,000-a-year St Paul's for Boys in London, which last year sent 53.

The Sutton Trust said it could not disclose the other five schools due to data permission issues.

The Trust's Access to Advantage report analysed UCAS data for university acceptance rates by school type.

It found that the eight schools and colleges with the highest number of Oxbridge acceptances had 1,310 between them over a three-year period.

In contrast, 2,894 schools across the country with two or fewer acceptances sent just 1,220 pupils to Oxford or Cambridge in the same time period.

The report found that pupils from independent schools are seven times more likely to attend Oxbridge than their peers at comprehensives.

Sir Peter Lampl, Sutton Trust founder, said: 'If we are to ensure that all young people, regardless of their background, have a fair chance of getting in to our top universities, we need to address the patchwork of higher education guidance and support.

'All young people, regardless of what area they grow up in, or what school they go to, should have access to high-quality personal guidance that allows them to make the best informed choices about their future.'

The figures also show that private school pupils have a better success rate when compared with other applications.

More than a third of applications to Oxbridge – 34 per cent – come from pupils at independent schools but 42 per cent of places go to those students.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
