Students supported at HAPU
Confirmed Host School reach supported by MSC to date.
MSC impact
Evidence first. Projections clearly labelled.
MSC separates confirmed participation from future estimates. That keeps the impact story useful as the initiative develops without presenting expected reach as an achievement that has already happened.
Projected HAPU reach
Estimated reach under the proposed wider MSC structure for 2026-27.
Projected network reach
Expected overall reach as MSC expands to additional schools in 2026-27.
What the figures mean
Confirmed reach and projected reach are different things.
443 students is the confirmed figure for students MSC has supported at Harris Academy Purley to date.
The figures of approximately 615 at HAPU and approximately 2,000 across the wider network describe expected reach for 2026-27. They are projections, not completed participation.
More than one number
Impact also includes how MSC develops.
Student reach is one useful measure, but the wider impact story should remain grounded in factual milestones rather than invented marketing statistics.
Host School foundation
MSC began at Harris Academy Purley on 23 September 2024, giving the initiative a clear origin and a base for its early delivery.
Broader forms of participation
MSC developed beyond a small competition into lessons, clubs, subject projects, practical challenges, student leadership and larger STEM activity.
A shared standard for schools
The shared curriculum and school-specific delivery work together so every school can offer MSC in a way that fits its students and context.
