Are you here for a genuine answer or are you here just to show off?
Because by looking at your stuff you certainly stand a chance at Oxford, just took a quick look at their website
The only thing they will care about with what you have stated is your GCSEs, no one cares what school you go to. Otherwise i'll you also that I have 7 A*s, 3 9s, and a 98% Scholarship to Harrow School.

Looking at your Gcses, they are just fine, 9A*s is a strong point for Oxford, however they will compare this with your contextual factors, the number of GCSEs taken, and your school performance. i know some individuals or have 11/12A*s however were spoonfed answers, and would score considerably less if they were to go to a state comprehensive; I had to climb up..

Continue trying to develop your interest in your subject, e.g. by reading or going to public lectures. Keep up the good work at school. Those are the most important things.
