2026 University Offers Update

Letter from the Headmaster on 2026 university offers:

Dear Parents,

I am writing to share with you an update on the university offers received to date by our pupils applying this year.

The picture is already an exceptionally strong one. Our pupils currently hold offers from many of the leading universities in the United Kingdom, including Oxford, LSE, Imperial, UCL, St Andrews, Durham, Warwick, Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh and King’s, as well as from some of the most selective universities in the United States, including Yale, Columbia, Penn, Brown, Notre Dame, Stanford, Northwestern and Middlebury.

One figure in particular is worth noting. At the time of writing, our pupils have received 236 offers from nine of the ten British universities currently ranked in the national top ten in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.

That is not an accident. It is the result, above all, of the quality of teaching at Runnymede and of the school’s long-established ethic and culture of success. Our teachers are outstanding. They know their subjects thoroughly, they know their pupils well, and they work exceptionally hard to prepare them for the demands of the most competitive universities in the world. Year after year, it is their expertise, commitment and ambition for their pupils that make this level of attainment possible.

Just as important is the culture of the school itself. Runnymede has always been a place where hard work matters, where high standards are normal, and where excellence is expected rather than merely admired. We do not apologise for being demanding. Serious attainment requires serious effort, and a school culture based on discipline, commitment and intellectual ambition is what turns potential into achievement.

Parents play a vital role in sustaining that culture. The values that lead to excellence — hard work, commitment, resilience and, at times, sacrifice — must be reinforced at home as well as at school. When pupils see that school and home are aligned in expecting the very best from them, they are far more likely to fulfil their potential.

For many years now, Runnymede has produced this kind of outcome with a consistency that, I believe, is unmatched by any school in Spain and very probably by any school in Europe when it comes to sending pupils to the leading universities in the UK and the US. That is something of which we can be proud because it reflects the enduring strength of the teaching, the ethos and the aspirations of this school.

We will, of course, continue to update you as more decisions come in over the weeks ahead.
