A QUARTET of Hulme Grammar School pupils are set to swap Oldham for Oxbridge.

Head girl Alexandra Sledge has been offered a place to study Chemistry at Worcester College, Oxford University.

Jake Kershaw and Georgia Loynds are also hoping to go to Oxford with offers to read history at Regent's Park College and English language and literature at St Hilda's College respectively.

Meanwhile, Joanna Berechula holds an offer to study history at Cambridge University's Downing College.

Hulme principal Craig Mairs said: "We are delighted that four of our students are holding Oxbridge offers this year. A tremendous amount of work from the students and the sixth form team goes into preparing such an application.

"We are pleased that the colleges have recognised the qualities of our students and we wish them every success as they work to achieve the grades required."
