University Destinations
Our students are intellectually curious and academically ambitious, with many choosing to apply to some of the world’s most competitive universities. They are supported every step of the way by expert guidance and a culture that encourages them to aim high.
“Additional sessions for Oxbridge Geography applicants were really helpful in the run up to interviews. Spending 30 minutes a week going through questions, practising how to think out loud and receiving specific feedback on our individual performance made me feel much more confident going into my interviews.”
– Anusha, successful Oxford applicant
We are proud of the wide range of destinations our students go on to after their time at NLCS. Universities recognise not only their academic excellence and subject passion, but also the confidence, leadership, and curiosity they bring to everything they do. We aim to give every student the strongest possible foundation for life beyond school — and we’re always delighted to celebrate their successes when they return as part of our ONL community.
