I would say:

Interviews
AS grades/UMS marks
GCSE grades
A-level predictions (because everyone will be predicted at least AAA)
Personal statement
Reference

But that's just my opinion.

i'd put GCSEs a little lower down. Also, it's worth remembering that Oxford don't see your UMS marks.

Cambridge has a better reputation for maths and it weighs quite heavy on UMS marks and interviews i suppose?
Oxford weighs quite a lot on personal statement from experience, you should say something intelligent to show your passion for the subject.

I would say brilliant interview+PS persuade Oxbridge that you as an outstanding students, Grades cannot do that.
