University Destinations
This year over 95% of St Benedict’s students taking up places at university did so at Russell Group/Top 10 universities, with the vast majority achieving places at their first choice university.
Eight pupils are taking up places at University College London, with another eight taking up places at Kings College London, for courses as diverse as Chemistry and Natural Sciences to Spanish and Philosophy: meaning the University of London was our most popular destination this year.
Two pupils have taken up places to read Medicine, and they are joined by one of our successful 2023BioMed candidates, who has now also transferred to Medicine in 2024. Another of the Class of 2024is now at The University of California, San Diego, planning to major in Economics, while two others are completing Foundation courses in Art, and another has secured a Degree Apprenticeship at Atkins Engineering, in partnership with the prestigious Warwick University.
