Congratulations to Monmouth Comprehensive School students who received their GCSE examination and BTEC results this week. MCS students have again achieved exceptional grades across a wide range of subjects.

30% of all grades awarded to Year 11 students were A*-A, and 80% of results were at C grade or above. 30% of students achieved 5 or more A*-A grades, with 12% of students achieving 10 or more A*-A grades.

Behind this collective success, there are individual stories of academic excellence, perseverance and determination to achieve their very best that reveal the resilience and excellence of students.

Over 1 in 10 students received 10 or more A*-A grades, led by Archie Barrell who achieved 14 A*/A grades and 9 students who achieved 13 A*-A grades – Imogen Helm, Ellie Hodgson, Tilly McClusky, Daniel Millington, Imogen Mitchell, Shannon Nolan, Daisy Stuart-Gunter, Tilly Wayte, and Harrison Williams. 11 students achieved 12 A*-A grades.

Assistant Headteacher Mandy Davies said: “We are very proud of each and every one of our students. They have achieved superb results across a wide range of qualifications. We are looking forward to welcoming a large majority of our students back into our 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 and perseverance 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 so have achieved their undoubted potential. 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.”
