Lady Royall emphasized her commitment to narrowing the attainment gap between male and female students, highlighting it as one of her primary focuses if elected chancellor. She stated, "The attainment gap between male and female students averages at 8.5 percentage points for first-class degrees, and I believe it’s essential to ensure all students feel they belong and can achieve their potential." This insight showcases her understanding of the current educational landscape and the necessity for inclusivity in a historic institution like Oxford.
In discussing the role of chancellor, Lady Royall recognized Oxford's evolution and the importance of balance between tradition and forward-thinking. She remarked, "Oxford has been constantly evolving for 800 years... whoever is chancellor should be proud of the traditions, but have a face to the future of the world, but also for the university." Her vision represents a modern approach to leadership within academia.
