An England rugby youngster is celebrating after his A-level results meant he secured his place at Loughborough University.
Luke Taylor, 18, will be heading to the Midlands-based campus, which is well-known for its sporting pedigree, next year after meeting the grades required.
Having studied at Cokethorpe School near Witney, he achieved two Bs and a C in economics, maths and PE and will be studying economics at Loughborough, where he also hopes to play rugby.

A full back or a winger, already he has played for his country at an under-18 level and has gone on tours to Singapore and Malaysia.
His parents said they were pleased that he "got his place".
Others pupils at the private school were also happy with their results, including Nathan Hunt who got two A*s and an A in economics, politics and geography.
"I did better than I expected," he said, adding that he is now considering his options, having previously planned to do business at Durham University.
Mr Hunt's twin brother was at Cokethorpe with him and also secured his place at his university of choice, and so will be studying military history at Kent University.

"These results reflect their hard work and commitment, and are a great cause for celebration."
