Hertfordshire (Other and North London) • Re: Leading secondary schools for oxbridge offers

Here are some figures from the Spectator Oxbridge league 2023 table which is apparently for the UCAS 2022 cycle.

Harris Westminster Sixth Form 40
Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet 35
St Olave’s and St Saviour’s Grammar School 31
Dame Alice Owen’s School 25
Henrietta Barnett School 21

These figures match the '2022' figures from the telegraph ( dated 1 mar 2023 and updated oct 2023)

I interpret these figures as for the being for the year in which the application is made so that the student will start in the following year. E.g. a 2023 offer means a start in 2024. It looks like the year of the 'offer' is being defined differently here ( as opposed to UCAS ). The Options seem to be

- The year when the UCAS application was made ( I.e. the year before the course will normally start )
- the year when the UCAS decision was made ( usually around Jan/ Feb of the year of the following the application)
- the year when the course actually starts ( some defer for a year for a gap year ? ) - so the official figures aren't accurate until the year after but probably only off by one or 2 places ?

from Sonu17 -

2023 Oxbridge offers
QE Barnet: 47 (32 Cambridge + 15 Oxford)
St Olave's: 40 (27 Cambridge + 13 Oxford)
HBS: 34

2024 Oxbridge offers
QE Barnet: 62 (46 Cambridge + 16 Oxford)
St Olave's: 26 (16 Cambridge + 10 Oxford)

How is the year being defined here ? Also are offers and 'accepted' being mixed up?
