Luke Herlihy secured a place to study a degree in mathematics after achieving an impressive set of A-Level results.

“I understand that Luke has had an induction week at Oxford and we are so proud that he is now going to Oxford.” said Mrs Tanner, science teacher at The Burgess Hill Academy.

Luke achieved grade A* in chemistry, physics, history, mathematics and statistics.

He achieved a grade A in biology, English language, ICT and geography and a grade B in English literature and Spanish.

School’s minister Lord Nash approved plans for Oakmeeds Community College to open as The Burgess Hill Academy following extensive consultation with parents, carers and staff.
