A STUDENT who lives near Wellington has been offered a place at Oxford University.

Alex Jobson has been at Queen’s College, Taunton, since joining Year 1 in September 2004.

Currently taking A-levels in Biology, Maths and English Literature, he has been offered a place to study Law at Pembroke College.

“I’m very pleased to have received the offer,” he said. “Now I need to work hard to make sure I get the grades.”

Alex is not 100 per cent sure which career he will eventually follow, adding: “It’s early to think about that kind of thing but law is the likely option.”

Outside the classroom, he enjoys kayaking and climbing at Queen’s.
