HT Blog – Tuesday 24 June 2025
This week
marks an exciting time at MGS as we welcome over 250 prospective students for
our Sixth Form Induction Week. Students from MGS and other schools will join us
for three days to experience life in our Sixth Form. During their visit,
they’ll attend sample A-level lessons in their chosen subjects, explore the
school through guided tours, spend time in the Sixth Form Common Room and
Library, and take part in a range of ‘getting-to-know-you’ activities. We hope
they find the experience valuable and choose to begin their Sixth Form journey
with us in September.
While our future sixth formers are getting a taste of life at MGS, our current Year 12 students are in the midst of their UCAS examinations. Over the next two weeks, they will be completing these important assessments, which play a key role in determining their predicted grades for university applications. These are the most significant exams they’ve sat since their GCSEs, and we wish them all the very best.
This past
weekend, 18 Year 10 students successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh
Silver Assessed Expedition in the New Forest, accompanied by Ms Alloy and Mr
Pinn. The hot weather presented an extra challenge, but with careful planning
and early starts, the group had a safe and rewarding experience. A huge thank
you to our staff for their support and encouragement throughout the trip.
Looking ahead to the end of the week, we’re excited to host our fourth annual Pride BBQ on Friday. This much-loved event brings together students and staff in the Quad for a lunchtime celebration featuring great food provided by our caterers, Cucina, and a soundtrack of music from iconic artists. Let’s hope the sunshine continues to make it a perfect day.
