MCS students have achieved exceptional grades in GCSE and BTEC results this week. There was excellent performance across a wide range of subjects, significantly above national figures.

30% of students achieved 5 or more A*-A grades, with 13% of students achieving 10 or more A*-A grades, including 11 students who gained 13 A*-A grades. 30% of all grades awarded were A*-A, and 80% of results were at C grade or above.

This cohort of students had to deal with Covid lockdown within months of starting secondary school, and have risen to that challenge and those that followed to meet their undoubted potential in their exams.

Assistant Headteacher Mandy Davies said:

“We are very proud of each and every one of our students, who have achieved superb results across a wide range of qualifications. Many of them are returning in September to join our fantastic Sixth Form, where I know they are looking forward to starting their A Level or BTEC courses with us. We also wish the students who are taking their next steps elsewhere the best of luck for the future.”

Mr Hutchison, Headteacher, lauded the hard work of students and staff. Mr Hutchison said:

“Our students have performed phenomenally well once again. Behind the excellent grades are individuals who have demonstrated a fantastic work ethic and redoubtable perseverance. Our magnificent staff have also been relentless in their endeavours to support all students in their studies. A particular thank you also to parents and carers, who have played a vital part in supporting and guiding students over the past years.”
