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.
