We are proud to announce that our students are again celebrating outstanding International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme results. This year’s results are well above the world average, with 13.7% of IBDP students achieving 40 points or more.
“These results mark the end of a challenging journey for our students - despite the ups and downs of an IB journey through a pandemic, learning virtually and in-person and with all the limitations that this placed upon them, our students have worked incredibly hard to produce a set of results that we are rightly proud of. The IB diploma is an extremely rigorous program of study and I would like to make special mention to Julian C and Chloe Y who achieved 44 points, Rory C, Georgia S and Ava G who attained 42 points, and Natalie W and Baoer L who achieved 40 points. Achieving 40+ points on the IBDP is a remarkable achievement. All of our students have achieved pass rates, average scores and subject scores that have surpassed the global average once again and these results have opened doors to the colleges and destinations of their dreams. We are very proud of them - congratulations to our Class of 2022.”

By incorporating Project Zero Thinking Routines, we've seen a significant improvement in both student self-belief and academic achievement.
