MCS is celebrating another strong year for Oxbridge applications, with 44 pupils in receipt of offers. This represents 29% of the year group, demonstrating the school’s consistent record of securing places at the UK’s top universities.
In 2019, 80% of leavers gained places at Russell Group Universities, and the school produced 10 Medics, 14 Engineers and 10 Natural Sciences undergraduates, and others who went on to study an immense range of subjects including Architecture, Arabic and Veterinary Medicine.
MCS is equally delighted to share that 11 pupils from its partner schools in the state sector have also achieved offers. This includes 5 pupils from Wheatley Park, three from Cheney School, two from Matthew Arnold and one from MCS Brackley. Each of the schools received support from MCS staff as part of the school’s partnerships programme, ranging from help with personal statements, to mock interview practice and attendance at MCS’s dedicated Medicine and Engineering Conferences.
Graham West, Head of Sixth Form at Wheatley Park, wrote: “there is no doubt in my mind that we could not have achieved such success without the help of you and the staff at MCS. I have been so impressed by the fact that you have not been paying lip service to ‘doing your bit’, you have gone above and beyond. Please do pass on my thanks to all the staff who have helped support us.” Wheatley Park’s pupils received offers for Medicine, Archaeology, Natural Sciences, Psychology and Engineering.

Master Helen Pike said of the news: “It is wonderful to see our pupils rewarded for their high aspirations. I am equally delighted to learn of similar success amongst students at our partner schools, many of whom have attended sessions alongside our students.”
