Usual spot in A-level table


ABOUT the usual slot in the indepen­ dent schools' A-level table has been earned


this year by Stony-


hurst College. I t is 248th, just one


place higher than Rep- . ton. Coincidentally, two other well-known north­ ern public schools, Sed- bergh and Giggleswick, occupy the next two places down the table. Mr Peter Anwyl,


Stonyhurst College director of admissions, says that the school is not as selective as many of its neighbours in the table and not nearly as selective as those much


higher up. "As a matter of policy,


we are not a highly-selec- tive school in academic terms. The college offers a broad and inclusive education which stretch­ es the most able yet ful­ fils the less talented,"


says Mr Anwyl. "What we believe is


impressive is our 'value added' and the fact that over the last three or four years our Oxbridge entry has averaged more than 10% of the year, a figure which many schools above us in the table would be pleased to achieve."
