Proportion of state school pupils admitted to University of Oxford falls

The proportion of state school pupils accepted at the University of Oxford this academic year has fallen slightly.

But the figure remains higher than in 2019, the year before the pandemic, when 62.3% of UK undergraduates were from state schools. In 2023, 13.3% of UK undergraduates admitted to Oxford were from the two groups with lowest progression to higher education – known as POLAR quintiles 1 and 2 – compared to 16.6% in 2022 and 14.0% in 2019.

The proportion of British students accepted into Oxford this academic year has increased slightly, from 79.4% in 2022 to 79.5% in 2023. An Oxford University spokesperson said: “Oxford embraces students from all school types and is committed to attracting students with the highest academic potential, from a diverse range of backgrounds.
