Join us at our next Open Event
Whole School Open Morning: Saturday 19 September, 9.00am-2.00pm
Welcome
The Sixth Form at MCS is a highly popular option for pupils who want to continue their studies in an environment known for its academic rigour, exceptional results and outstanding pastoral care.
Our distinctive and inspiring classroom experience, our central Oxford location and our excellent connections within this university city ensure a rewarding and enriching two years at MCS.
With perennially excellent A Level results, we are one of the top schools in the country for securing places at elite universities. Approximately 25% of pupils progress to Oxford and Cambridge universities, with the majority of others leaving for Russell Group universities and top institutions in the UK and overseas. Around 10% move on to medical schools.
Alongside academic excellence, we ensure every pupil is supported in being their best selves, both in school and outside the classroom.
Head of Sixth Form
Sally Pearson
As Head of Sixth Form at MCS, I consider myself to have the best job in education.
Having been an English teacher for sixteen years and spent several years as a boarding-school Housemistress, I have always found the Sixth Form to be an electric time: a time of self-discovery, both emotionally and intellectually; a time of great potential; and a time to grapple safely with the necessary challenges that prepare you for life beyond the school gates.
It is clear to me that MCS leaves a lasting imprint on everyone, inculcating a warmth and fondness that make me feel very lucky to be here. I have been regaled with schoolboy tales by my OW husband, so I’ve seen first-hand what an MCS education can do. And, although the school is very different to when he was educated here, the heart of the place remains unchanged in its humble yet unapologetic joy in academic enquiry, especially in the Sixth Form.
I hope you’ll get a sense of that joy if you visit us and, indeed, experience it fully if you decide to join our wonderful Sixth Form.
