One place has also been offered with a Choral Scholarship.
Deneal Smith, Head Master of Warwick School, said: "I am very proud of the achievements of all of our pupils and am delighted that, despite the pressure on independent schools, many of our boys have received excellent offers from some of the top universities in the UK.
"Last year 91 percent of our boys were admitted to their preferred universities, with boys going on to study subjects such as Medicine, Law and Engineering at world class universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Durham."
Richard Nicholson, Head Master of King’s High School, said: "We are immensely proud of all our Oxbridge candidates, and congratulate those girls who received offers, as well as commiserating with those whose skill and dedication sadly wasn’t recognised this year.

In the past three years, 75% of our girls have gone to one of the 25 universities targeted by top employers. Last year, 86% went to their first-choice university, and girls go on to Arts Foundation courses, Music Conservatoires, Drama Colleges, and prestigious Degree Apprenticeships."
