“I’m most proud of myself for staying resilient and I’d say to anyone, don’t be afraid to go for opportunities. At Manchester High there’s a plethora. Try everything, chase rejection. That one ‘yes’ will propel you to where you want to be.”

Students have secured places at a range of universities, including King’s College London, Imperial College London, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Sheffield, Manchester and Bristol. Multiple students have also secured places to study Medicine and Dentistry.

Krishna and Sree, who’s daughter Disha has been at MHSG since Reception and achieved three A*s, said: “Being a Manchester High parent means everything. It is such an inclusive school where they take every child’s needs, circumstances and situations into account. They teach confidence, perseverance, resilience and they’ll do anything support every girl.

“We’d say to anyone thinking of sending their daughters to MHSG, don’t even think twice. We have no regrets, Disha is 100% a Manchester High girl and now she’s going to study Medicine at Queen Mary’s. She’s achieved her dream.”

One of the students has has taken up a highly competitive degree apprenticeship placement this year with consumer giant, Unilever, while many others are heading on to study subjects across the Creative Arts, Humanities and STEM.

Bea Irwin achieved an A* and two As and will study Law at the University of Nottingham. She said: “I’m very happy and relieved and really excited. My teachers have spent hours going over past papers with me and supporting me. Everyone’s been congratulating each other this morning, that’s the most Manchester High girl thing.”
