A sixth form college in a deprived part of east London has outdone some of the country's top public schools by winning eight offers of places at Oxford and Cambridge.
Every one of the pupils bound for Oxbridge at the London Academy of Excellence in Stratford is from an immigrant background, with several having unemployed parents or living in council homes.
Meanwhile, only a single pupil at £30,000-a-year Scottish public school Gordonstoun, attended by Prince Charles, has received an Oxbridge offer this year according to reports.
