MGS is celebrating another year of excellent examination results for its Sixth Form pupils. Hercules has secured a place to study Mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge.

We are delighted to congratulate Hercules on an extraordinary set of achievements. He achieved the highest marks in the world in both Sixth Term Examination Papers (STEP) 2 and 3 – an exceptional feat, given that these rigorous university admissions tests are designed to challenge the most able Mathematics pupils.

Alongside this, Hercules achieved four A* grades in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, securing a place at Trinity College, University of Cambridge.

His academic excellence extends beyond the classroom: he recently delivered an outstanding performance in the British Mathematical Olympiad Round 2 (BMO2), earning a Distinction. The BMO2 is a demanding 3½-hour examination comprising four complex problems, taken under exam conditions in schools across the country. Hercules’ accomplishments are a testament to his exceptional ability, dedication, and intellectual curiosity.

Oxford and Cambridge offered places to 32 of our pupils; these are just two of the many Russell Group universities to which MGS boys will be heading this autumn. Others include Imperial, UCL, LSE, Durham, Warwick, York, KCL, Manchester, Nottingham and Leeds.

The High Master, Dr Martin Boulton, said, “This year’s results place The Manchester Grammar School in a very select number of schools nationally. I am absolutely delighted that the hard work and dedication of the pupils has been rewarded with excellent grades and that this will enable them to move on to study a diverse range of courses at leading universities. I would like to wish them every success as they take their next exciting steps in their academic journeys.”
