Leavers' Destinations

98% of our Sixth Form students gain admission to their firm choice university

Our leavers always choose an ambitious and wide ranging selection of courses, including everything from Law, Medicine and Zoology to Product Design Engineering, Neuroscience and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. In addition to this, some of our students take on challenging apprenticeships across the UK, with a specific career in mind.

The destinations they go on are just as exciting. A huge number of our leavers go on to study at top-tier Scottish institutions, including the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow. This past year, our students have ventured overseas to Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Canada, whilst others are making their mark down south at universities including Cambridge, Durham and Kings College London.

" I felt so lucky when going through the application process at MES as I was supported by members from all parts of the school community in so many ways. It truly feels like a second family as everyone genuinely wants to help you succeed."
