2024-25 exam results round-up - MES
A round-up of the GCSE and A Level results achieved by MyEdSpace students in 2025, compared to the national average
myedspace.co.uk
Recently I started at MyEdSpace and today we're publishing a round-up of the frankly sensational exam results MES students achieved last year.
Can I take any credit? No.
Will that stop me from lumping the two together in a single sentence to imply credit? Also no.

But. Taking 3rd tier Swedish semi professionals to their first ever Swedish Cup Final is wonderful.

[scene is Winston Churchill in a bbc studio, giving his 'finest hour' speech]

CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us.
2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.
3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-
BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister
4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?
5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill
6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -
CHURCHILL:
Hang on
7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -
8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here
BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate
9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...
CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-

RAUSS!
BBC PRESENTER:
*Please* Mr Churchill let him speak

On the face of it, this is one of the least interesting pieces of copy I have ever written.
But, a decade on, this addition of a real-life object to help people visualise the size of the pothole they're reporting, is right up there as one of my favourites.

In the mid-1980s on a bleak winter’s day in Edinburgh, Scotland were getting hammered in rugby’s Five Nations, yet this formed the start of an unlikely bond between a group of Basque football fans from a tiny town in Northern Spain.
