The brilliant Year 13 musician and actor is studying A-Level French, Spanish and History at the King's School in Macclesfield and got a stunning eight grade 9s and two 8s in his GCSEs.
New College, Oxford, founded in 1379, is a world-wide centre of excellence for languages and welcomes only the very best young academic talent worldwide.
Seb said: "I am interested in the linguistic and cultural links between the languages I am already studying at A-Level, French and Spanish, as well as Arabic. After visiting Oxford, I felt it would be a wonderful place to study, with a great academic atmosphere and a lovely place to make my home for the next few years."
Already displaying a diplomatic turn of phrase, Seb added: "I think a 17-year-old living in the High Peak should not really offer a solution to the Middle East's problems. However, one can only hope that both sides of the divide learn to be a bit more lenient and tolerant and not be quite so inflexible but try to cooperate."
"I would love to work in the diplomatic service or in journalism, but first I just want to enjoy my course and all that Oxford has to offer."
A brilliant young actor, who won rave reviews for his portrayal of Nathan Detroit, in the King's School's fabulous production of Guys and Dolls, a part made famous by Frank Sinatra, Seb is about to star at The Evans Theatre in Wilmslow, in Les Misérables, as Thenardier, the duplicitous innkeeper, played by Sacha Baron Cohen in the award-winning film.
He is also a talented clarinet player and plays in King’s Big Band, and in between his academic studies practises for at least 45 minutes each and every day.
Andrew Prideaux, King's Head of Challenge & Enrichment, who oversees King's Oxbridge preparation programme, said: "I am absolutely delighted to congratulate Seb on receiving an offer from Oxford University to read Arabic. This is an incredible achievement and a testament to Seb's hard work, dedication, and intellectual curiosity. His commitment to excellence in both written and spoken work has truly set him apart, and it is no surprise that Oxford, one of the world's most prestigious institutions, has recognized his potential. I have no doubt that Seb will thrive at Oxford."
