Celebrating outstanding A-level success

Manchester High School for Girls is celebrating another year of fantastic A-level results, with our departing Senior Sixth students once again doing themselves – and the School – proud. Well over half of the grades achieved by our students were A* and A. In total, an impressive 86% of all grades were the prestigious “gold standard” A* to B.

“I’ve been part of Manchester High since Reception and have felt truly supported from the very start. The School has played a huge role in shaping my character. I’ve been encouraged to excel academically, but just as importantly, I’ve received incredible support from my teachers and through the many extra-curricular opportunities on offer. I’ve grown up with Manchester High and I believe there really is such a thing as a ‘Man High girl’. I’m now excited to be heading to Cambridge to study Natural Sciences.”

We wish them every success as they embark on the next stage of their journeys across a wide range of universities.”

Congratulations

Manchester High School for Girls’ pupils are celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results. With an impressive average grade of 8 (A) and more than three quarters of all results awarded at grades 7 to 9 (A/A*), our students have once again achieved at the very highest level.

Yet again, this year, it is the range of subject success which is so good to see. With 100% of all grades in Music being 8/9 (A*), 93% of all grades being 8/9 in Physical Education and 92% being grade 9 in Graphics, our pupils continue to demonstrate their passion for the subject breadth. At the same time, with well over three quarters of all grades being the highest 7-9 (A/A*) in Maths and the Sciences, our pupils also demonstrate their STEM credentials.

“I am thrilled for our fantastic Year 11 pupils. Not only do their results demonstrate their hard work and academic abilities but they have maintained their extra-curricular passions throughout their GCSE years. From fantastic sporting, musical, dancing and performing arts’ success to outstanding achievements in external competitions during the last year, our pupils demonstrate an inspirational balance in their approach to life, highlighting the importance of wellbeing and personal happiness – all so important to success in life beyond school. I am exceptionally proud of them as young people and wish them every success for the future.” I look forward to seeing our pupils return to MHSG in September to begin their exciting A-level journey with us. Congratulations, Year 11!”
