GCSE
Results
2025 saw pupils celebrate another outstanding set of GCSE results. The school is delighted to report that 61% of all grades were grade 9, 83% grades 9-8 and 94% grades 9-7. 40% of the year group (45 pupils) achieved 10 grades 9-8, while 12 pupils secured at least 10 grade 9s. 97% of grades achieved by pupils in receipt of bursaries were 7 or above.
100% of Religious Studies grades were 9-8 and, for the second year running, 100% of Maths grades were 7 or above. All grades in Geography, German, Greek and Latin were also 7 or above.
Master Helen Pike said: “Everyone at MCS joins me in congratulating our pupils on their exceptional GCSE results. Having begun their senior school experience during the disruption of COVID, this cohort has shown remarkable determination to excel not only in their academic achievements, but also in their contributions on stage, on the sports field, and across so many aspects of school life. We are proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to welcoming them, alongside our new pupils, into the Sixth Form in September.”
Individual successes include Callum, Charlie, Devin, Ivan, Alex C, Jimmy, Calvin, Henry F, Justin, Daniel, Nicholas and Max, who all received 10 grade 9s. Talented musician Max, our former Head Chorister, celebrated making it to the semi-finals of BBC Young Chorister of the Year this academic year, while Henry embarked on an epic charity bike ride to Barcelona over the summer to raise money and awareness for cancer support. Cricketer Teddy, who combined playing cricket for Northampton and the School’s 1st Team, achieved all 9-8 grades. Adrian maintained his studies alongside rehearsals as villain Cardinal Richelieu in this summer’s Oxford Playhouse production of The Three Musketeers, together with castmates Leo, George, Henry I, Henry W, Seb, Alex O and Paul.
