Meena said:
I’m so happy with my results and can’t wait to start at Bristol Uni. I’d love to work in robotics eventually. Studying Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics remotely during lockdown was tricky, but I had a really supportive network of friends and classmates, as well as brilliant teachers. My mum came with me to collect my results today and she hasn’t stopped smiling! This evening we’re going out for a family meal to celebrate.
Sisters Merve Ipek Bal and Yasmin Bal both achieved A*AAA, with Merve Ipek heading to the University of Exeter to read Computer Science and Yasmin to the University of Leeds to read Computer Science and Mathematics.

Alfie’s mum Amy said:
We’re absolutely delighted with Alfie’s results and couldn’t be more proud of him. He’s worked incredibly hard and deserves every success, especially because these are the first exams he’s ever taken, due to GCSEs being teacher-assessed during lockdown.
Principal Kerry McCullagh said:
This cohort of Year 13's has been a real inspiration to everyone at MHS. I joined the school at the same time as these students in September 2015 and it has been both a pleasure and a privilege to see them grow into exceptional young adults who will make a real difference in their academic fields, professions and communities. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, our students worked with resilience and supported each other, remaining optimistic and good humoured throughout. The dedicated staff at MHS and V6 have worked tirelessly to ensure that every student has been able to achieve their full potential.
Head of Sixth Form Caroline McClean said:
We’re delighted to be celebrating the exceptional achievements of our students today, many of whom have secured university places at impressive destinations. I am equally proud of those students who have made considerable progress in the sixth form, including Dania Amin who achieved A-level BBC and EPQ C; and Geetika Goel who achieved A-level A*AB. Both students surpassed their original target grades, with Dania securing a place at the University of the West of England to read Nursing; and Geetika heading to the University of Bath to read Economics. I would also like to congratulate those students who overcame adversity to move forward towards their dream careers. Well done to everyone.
