Once again MCS pupils are celebrating their hard-earned success at A-Level. Over 96% of all results were graded A*-B, with over 82% of grades at A*-A and just under 44% at A*.

Subjects such as Music, English and Modern Foreign Languages are flourishing at MCS despite a marked decline in pupils studying these subjects nationally. This year saw our best ever results in French, German and Music. In both French and Music, 70% of grades were A*s, and the other 30% were A grades, while 83% of pupils taking German and 66% of pupils taking English achieved an A*.

“Once again, MCS Sixth Formers have achieved startlingly high exam results alongside the phenomenal commitment they make to the life of the school and the wider world. I am so proud of them.”
