Academic Excellence

We inspire our pupils to aim high

The standards of education offered at Meoncross are very high indeed as we embed our value of achievement throughout the school; pupils regularly and consistently exceed our expectations across all subjects.

Our close relationships help us to build pupils' confidence as they face up to challenges in lessons, flexing their wings in a safe environment, which in turn builds their resilience
and self-belief.

Results that speak for themselves

At Meoncross, we take immense pride in nurturing our pupils' potential. Exceptional results were seen in subjects across many departments, especially in English, where 43% of grades were Grade 8 or above, more than twice the national average.

Pupils in Art & Design, Computer Science, English Language, Geography and German all achieved at least one grade higher than was predicted for their ability.

Pupils excelled across the board. More than 30% of pupils in Geography, Music, Performing Arts, Spanish and Statistics achieved Grade 9 – that’s six times the national average. We believe that performance can be transformational when it comes to building confidence and as a result, we are particularly pleased with the outcomes in our performance subjects.
