Mr Harrison said: “We are immensely proud of this year’s Year 13 cohort. Their achievements are brilliant, and it has been a true privilege to work with such a wonderful group of young people as they move on to the next stage of their lives.”

Results were strong across the board, continuing the sustained improvement seen within the Sixth Form. There was a pleasing increase in top A/A* equivalent grades and a significant rise in the average point score compared to previous years, ensuring students are well placed for their next steps.

Mr Harrison added: “It is wonderful to see that we have sustained our journey of improvement in the Sixth Form. More importantly, virtually all of our students woke up this morning to find they had already secured their first-choice destination, reflecting the national picture.”

As always, Malbank students will now progress to an exciting range of destinations and courses across the country. Including William Gardner who achieved an amazing set of results (A*, A*, A*) having already started an accountancy apprenticeship earlier this week, and Kian Gopal (A*, A, B) who is off to the University of Leeds to study Maths. With A*, A, B (plus an A in her EPQ), Ellie-May Shenton will be studying English Literature at Nottingham University and Josh Winters leaves Malbank to read Law at Birmingham having achieved A*BB. 

Reflecting on the success of the cohort, Head of Sixth Form Craig Batty said: “The Class of 2026 are a wonderful group of young people, and we are delighted by their achievements today. They have worked incredibly hard throughout their time with us and deserve every success. Whatever their starting point, the overwhelming majority have achieved or exceeded their potential and have been rewarded with fantastic opportunities for the future. We will miss them immensely.”

Looking back on the students’ journey through the school and Sixth Form College, Mr Harrison added: “These results are a powerful reflection of the success of our inclusive approach to Sixth Form education. When students, staff and families work together, and young people commit themselves to their goals, there is no limit to what can be achieved. Their determination, resilience and ambition have enabled them to enjoy some truly remarkable successes this summer, and we look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the years ahead.”

From all at Malbank, massive congratulations and the best of luck for your next chapters.

The School Games Mark is a Government-backed award scheme, facilitated by the Youth Support Trust, recognising schools' commitment to developing sport and competition, not only within the school environment but also within the local community.

We are really proud to receive this award and have our sporting success recognised. In the spirit of competition – let's aim for the platinum award next year!

A huge well done to everyone involved.

The evening celebrated students who have represented the school in our sports teams, as well as recognising recipients of the Head of PE Awards, Heart of Malbank Awards, and the Sports Person of the Year Awards.

It was a lovely evening, with over 350 people in attendance. We were also delighted to welcome Crewe Alexandra captain Mickey Demetriou as our guest speaker.

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. I wish you all a wonderful summer.

Mr Smithson

In addition to the competitive events, there were fun activities such as sack races and tug-of-war, and a water balloon toss which helped those who got wet cool down!

Well done to all the winners and those who took part, the true success of the day was the teamwork, sportsmanship, and Malbank Spirit shown by everyone. Roll on next year.

The cast delivered outstanding performances, with students bringing their characters to life through confident, expressive, and engaging performances. The singers impressed with their powerful vocals, blending beautifully in both solo and ensemble numbers, while the dancers added energy,  and excitement  with  polished choreography.

The live band deserves special recognition for providing musical accompaniment throughout the show. 

The show  reflected the hard work of the students, staff, and backstage crew. 

The highlight was the spirit of collaboration and teamwork. Singers, dancers, actors, musicians, and the technical team combined their talents to produce a truly memorable evening of entertainment. The enthusiasm, commitment, and passion for the performing arts were evident in every aspect of the show.

This was a production of the highest standard and a credit to the entire school community. Everyone involved should be immensely proud of what they achieved. It was an inspiring, uplifting, and thoroughly entertaining performance that will be remembered for a long time. Well done to all involved. 

I am sure you agree they have done a fabulous job.

We competed against Alsager, Brine Leas, Holmes Chapel, Ruskin, Sandbach Boys, Sandbach Girls, Shavington, Sir William Stanier, St Thomas More and The Oaks, making this achievement even more impressive.

We are all incredibly proud of every student who represented the school today. All the students have achieved something monumental. Every one of them was a credit to the school through their attitude, behaviour and determination.

"Having taught for nearly 20 years, I can honestly say I have never come across a nicer group of students. They fully deserve every bit of praise and recognition that comes their way. They have been outstanding ambassadors for our school, and we couldn't be prouder of them." (Mr Smithson)
