variety of ways at MCS. Academic success is part of this, and we are well-established as a school at which students achieve exceptionally well. However, success comes in a variety of ways, and we celebrate a broad range of success in academic and non-academic fields. Our broad curriculum enables students to be successful in their chosen pathways, so that when they leave us they have the ability to make a high quality choice from the very best options available. This might be a first-class university, or it might be a graduate apprenticeship, a technical qualification or a work-based pathway.</p> </li><li class="container info__content__item"><p>A student’s journey through school is one of developing greater independence. Students are encouraged to take pride in their learning and progress, and to develop their independent study skills both inside and outside lessons. They are taught how to manage their time and workload, how to revise and how best to learn in each subject. Students gain greater levels of independence as they progress through MCS and into Sixth Form. We also work on wider student independence, fostering resilience and intrinsic motivation amongst all that join us.</p> </li><li class="container info__content__item"><p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">MCS operates with the fundamental tenet of respect at its core. Mutual respect between all people at our school includes treating others as you would like to be treated – courteously, politely and positively. We listen to and look out for one another here at MCS.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Diversity and difference are also respected throughout our school. Individuality and different perspectives are valued and celebrated. We are respectful of others and their opinions.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Respect also entails respecting our wonderful school building, the site and its facilities. The school belongs to all of us, and as such we all have a responsibility to take care of it. We all take pride in ensuring it is looked after.</p> </li><li class="container info__content__item"><p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Secondary school is a place and time for students to develop and grow with new freedoms as they progress. These freedoms and greater sense of self-ownership come with a greater sense of responsibility. All students at the school are responsible for their own actions, and as such need to make positive decisions with the increasing freedom that they experience. Routines such as attending every day on time, wearing uniform correctly and behaving positively are examples as this. MCS guides and supports students in this development throughout their time with us, knowing that everyone makes mistakes and it is how we learn from them that has the greatest benefit.</p> </li><li class="container info__content__item"><p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">It is vital that students feel secure at school. This in part refers to personal safety – keeping safe online on social media, cyber-security, taking care of personal belongings and other material concerns. However, it also refers to emotional security. A secure and happy student is far better placed to learn, make progress and reach their potential. We strive to ensure that students feel secure in their working relationships at school to ask for help if they are finding something difficult, or if they are upset or uncomfortable about anything.</p> </li></ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="home__community container"> <div

During my time at MCS, I rowed, was in school theatre productions, and participated in student councils. The time at MCS that I loved the most was Sixth Form, when I was able to focus on the subjects that I really enjoyed, especially History and English. I was ambitious to go to Oxford or Cambridge and was lucky that the school had the resources to help me with that process. </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">In October 2017, I went to Clare College, University of Cambridge, to study History. I still remember my final results day at MCS very clearly. It was a great and happy day but I do recall it felt a little bittersweet to be faced with the fact that I was moving on from the Comprehensive, where I had been since I was 11.    I was awarded a Double First-Class degree. Some of the first people I told were my old teachers from MCS.  </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">My scholarship application to Yale was successful and I am a Mellon Fellow, with two years of funding, in which I will complete my MA in History and prepare to do my PhD, also in History, either in the US or UK.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I get back to MCS as frequently as I can to help with applications to Oxford or Cambridge and am happy to be put in contact with any student interested in studying history at Oxbridge or in the US.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Wulf Scouller</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I started Monmouth Comprehensive in 2009 where I stayed until 2016 to complete both my GCSEs and A Levels.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">After finishing my studies, I then went on to the University of Birmingham where I achieved a First Class Honours Degree in Nursing. I am now currently working my dream job on a Specialist Paediatric and Neonatal Surgical Unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Working through a worldwide pandemic as a newly qualified nurse was a very challenging time, both physically and emotionally however I couldn’t be prouder to work for the NHS during this time. For now I’m based in London but in the next 1 year who knows, maybe I will continue my studies to do a masters or even continue my nursing career overseas.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">When I look back I can’t thank MCS enough for giving me the drive and confidence to work hard to achieve anything I set my mind too and for giving me the knowledge to get me where I am in life today.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Megan Jephcote</strong></p> </p></div></div></div></div><div class="popup__item" data-type="{item_poptype}"><div class="popup__item__flex"><div class="default__pop__container__button"><button data-add=".default__pop__container--close"><span><i class="fal fa-times"></i></span></button></div><div class="popup__item__image" data-img="/_site/data/files/images/community/CA3F231E0CB56835E590CE88ABA46B74.jpg"><div class="lazy__load__img cover"></div></div><div class="popup__item__content"><h2 class="popup__item__content__title">Staff at MCS</h2><ul class="community__item__details reset__ul"><li class="inline f__14"></li><li class="inline f__14"></li></ul><div class="popup__item__content__text"><p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I have had the privilege of working as the school receptionist for the past 14 years, working alongside a dedicated team of hard working professionals and students.</p> <p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I have seen students arrive on their very first day of school and then seen them return as mature adults who want to share their successes with the people who made it all possible.</p> <p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">It is a wonderful school to work, learn and be happy in and I feel pride in what we do, who we are and what is achieved here.</p> <p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Mrs J Jones<br /> Reception</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Students at MCS strive to better themselves both in the classroom and in the wider community.<br /> <br /> With guidance from their teachers and the school’s values, they have the opportunity to grow into young adults who have the confidence to overcome any challenges they may face.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Miss C Harrington<br /> Year 8 Form Tutor</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I am very proud to work in a school in which students have so many opportunities to thrive in such a supportive and exciting atmosphere. Every learner is treated as an individual and staff work to develop effective, productive relationships based on mutual respect.<br /> <br /> Our results speak for themselves, but what you can’t quantify so easily is the impact of our students on the community as they move on to their successful future lives.  The skills they develop at MCS ensure they are fully prepared to spread their enthusiasm, empathy, hard work and kind attitudes, acting as a positive force for the future.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Mr J Le Boeuf<br /> Science Department</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><br /> I am very proud of our Sixth Form students at MCS. We have a strong and well-deserved reputation as one of the very best Sixth Forms in the region. Being in our sixth form is very different from Key Stage 4, and in a short and exciting two years our sixth form students transform themselves, both academically and personally, into a <strong><em>professional student</em></strong>.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">We put our students at the centre of taking responsibility for their progress, developing as individuals both inside and outside of our rich and varied curriculum of Level 3 A Level and vocational courses.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Beyond the classroom, Sixth Form students participate in a rich and varied extended curricular programme, including sport, music and the performing arts as well as organisations such as World Challenge and Duke of Edinburgh Award. This programme further enables each to explore their own interests, develop their character and maximise their own unique talents. We support students who are new to our school in establishing new friendships, developing resilience and becoming active members of our school community.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Students have a strong sense of pride in being a member of the MCS community. Opportunities such as being a Prefect or mentoring younger students are fantastic ways to develop leadership skills. Sixth Form students leave us after two years of study ready to make a positive contribution to the wider world as future leaders in their own fields.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">When our Year 13 students leave us in the summer of their final year, it is wonderful and rewarding to see that they have developed into responsible, independent young learners who are ready to take on the world.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm;

margin-right:0cm">We pride ourselves on how tangible this philosophy has always been and how it transcends every aspect of our practice and provision - combining a knowledge-rich curriculum which inspires curiosity, awe and wonder with a plethora of learning experiences in which to apply that knowledge skilfully across a variety of contexts.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Our new building has given us the opportunity to build upon these values and extend those learning experiences in a 21<sup>st</sup> Century environment further enhancing our students’ progress and opening up choices for fulfilling, individual pathways for students to lead their lives successfully.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm;

I’ve chosen to continue rowing as I honestly love the sport as, after doing many different clubs, there’s a unique mentality seen at rowing that sees people encouraging each other to pursue their goals to the best of their ability. The relationship built up with fellow rowers is then replicated with other year groups throughout the school and, to a degree, other clubs which creates benefits away from the river. Another big part of rowing, and why I row, is because of the many Race days which we take part in as a club as it gives the opportunity to go to, and experience, new places as well as to show skills I’ve built up leading to that point.<br /> <br /> The coaching team are also really friendly and supportive which makes it a great environment to row in. You have the ability to do lots of sessions - although I would want to do more!  All round, it’s a great club and an amazing sport to be in.</p> <p><strong>Lewis<br /> Y12</strong></p> <p>Through rowing I have developed some of my closest friendships, letting us build each other up to achieve our best in a sport we love. Out on the water first thing in the morning is my favourite way to begin a day. The silent hard work that goes on before most people are awake allows me to push my mental and physical boundaries to the limit.</p> <p>Rowing makes me feel strong in every sense, whether that be giving me the confidence to teach and support younger members of our club or putting everything I have into a piece after a long week at school.</p> <p><strong>Shona <br /> Y13</strong></p> <p> </p> </p></div></div></div></div><div class="popup__item" data-type="{item_poptype}"><div class="popup__item__flex"><div class="default__pop__container__button"><button data-add=".default__pop__container--close"><span><i class="fal fa-times"></i></span></button></div><div class="popup__item__image" data-img="/_site/data/files/images/community/EBDBD32B92D0FEF07F0219A53CAA1A71.jpg"><div class="lazy__load__img cover"></div></div><div class="popup__item__content"><h2 class="popup__item__content__title">Sixth Form</h2><ul class="community__item__details reset__ul"><li class="inline f__14"></li><li class="inline f__14"></li></ul><div class="popup__item__content__text"><p><p style="margin-left:.2pt; margin-right:35.85pt; text-align:justify">Despite the challenges faced by us all in the past year, I have seen our school community come together and help each other pull through.  We have renewed strength and determination to succeed and we can now look forward and feel confident about the year ahead.</p> <p style="margin-left:.2pt; margin-right:35.85pt; text-align:justify">The supportive environment has made it a brilliant and positive place to study, where taking responsibility for independent learning is nurtured.  In addition, Sixth Form has provided a great opportunity to meet new people from a diverse mix of different schools.</p> <p style="margin-left:.2pt; margin-right:35.85pt; text-align:justify"><strong>Suzie Paddock<br /> Head Girl - Year 13</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I have attended Monmouth Comprehensive for the entirety of my secondary school career and what can I say? It is a community that has enabled me to develop me as a person and truly supported me in readiness for my next steps. I am so glad to be part of such a brilliant school with such happy memories.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">The teacher-student relationship is a highlight of the school. The teachers know their students on an educational and personal level. They create a secure and supportive working environment, as well as getting the best out of you.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Rowan Wilde<br /> Head Boy - Y13</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><br /> <br /> Throughout my time at MCS, I have been supported by students and staff. This has allowed me to flourish both socially and academically. The teachers that have taught me have been helpful and encouraging, always wanting to assist in any way they can. Being appointed Deputy Head Boy is extremely exciting and through working with the Student Senior Leadership Team I hope to help others enjoy their time at MCS as much as me.<br /> <br /> <strong>James Tester<br /> Deputy Head Boy - Y13</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </p></div></div></div></div><div class="popup__item" data-type="{item_poptype}"><div class="popup__item__flex"><div class="default__pop__container__button"><button data-add=".default__pop__container--close"><span><i class="fal fa-times"></i></span></button></div><div class="popup__item__image" data-img="/_site/data/files/images/community/D0AB27CC8AB1E4653AFC9C3719100ACE.jpg"><div class="lazy__load__img cover"></div></div><div class="popup__item__content"><h2 class="popup__item__content__title">Charity Committee</h2><ul class="community__item__details reset__ul"><li class="inline f__14"></li><li class="inline f__14"></li></ul><div class="popup__item__content__text"><p><p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">As a Charity Committee, we are passionate about working within our community as well as supporting larger causes such as Children In Need and Macmillan. In recent years, we have branched out into the community, through projects such as our annual Christmas collection for the homeless whereby we encourage students to donate essential items such as socks, hats, scarves, gloves and toiletries which we then sort into gift bags so they can be delivered in and around Newport by the Usk Lions Club. We then donate any spare toiletries to Monmouth Food Bank.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">We also look forward to opportunities where we are able to invite our community in to meet with us, for example we invited local community groups for the elderly in to see the dress rehearsal of our school production Billy Elliot, as well as providing them with coffee and cake supplied by our Food Hall staff.  We really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know members of our community while giving them the opportunity to socialise and have an afternoon out.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">Our school community and our wider community plays a vital role in the work we do, in addition to supporting all of our events and generously making donations be it cake, time or resources, we aim to ensure our community feels supported by us and included in what we do. It is always lovely when we are contacted by local organisations asking for our assistance or ideas and we hope in the coming years to reach out even further into our community and form even stronger relationships.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"><strong>Charlotte Painter<br /> Charity Committee Chair<br /> Year 13</strong></p> </p></div></div></div></div></div><div
