TWO friends who have studied together for seven years are going their separate ways - to rivals Oxford and Cambridge.
Thomas Wigham, from the Eastbourne area, and George Dodd, from Hurworth, met in year seven at Hurworth School.
They went on to study at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, both achieving A grades.
Next weekend, Thomas will travel to Oxford to study German and Russian.
George will go to Cambridge to study maths with physics, chemistry, and biology.
Thomas is an ex-pupil of Heathfield Primary School, while George went to Hurworth Primary School
