We are thrilled to celebrate the success of Nazrul, who is heading to Oxford University to read History with a Foundation Year after achieving a Double Distinction (BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business) and a B (in A Level History) at St Charles. Nazrul has not only excelled academically but has also been a dedicated ambassador for the college — inspiring peers, supporting our community, and making a lasting positive impact. This next chapter is a testament to his hard work, resilience, and passion for learning. We couldn’t be prouder, and we can’t wait to see what he achieves next at Oxford.
