RELIGIOUS STUDIES DEPARTMENT

Many congratulations to Kia Kinsey and Charlotte Napier in Y10. Both pupils have won places on the 2019 'Virgin Atlantic - Be the Change' scholarship programme. These scholarships are worth £3,500 each and just thirty pupils from across the UK (out of over three-hundred applicants) have been chosen. The girls will spend two and a half weeks of their summer holidays, helping to build a school in Rajasthan, India. MACS becomes the first school in the UK to send pupils on this scholarship in consecutive years, having had three pupils win places last year also!
