The British International School Shanghai, Puxi is proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of its 2025 IGCSE cohort. This year’s students have once again demonstrated exceptional academic performance, achieving results that significantly exceed UK national averages.
In the Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE examinations, 52% of all grades awarded to BISS Puxi students were at the highest levels - A/A* or 9-7 under the numerical grading system. By comparison, the UK average for these top grades stands at 23%, underlining the exceptional standard of achievement across the cohort.
Furthermore, whilst approximately 70% of grades across the UK typically fall within the A*-C or 9-4 range, an impressive 88% of BISS Puxi students’ grades met this benchmark. These results reflect the school’s strong academic ethos and its commitment to supporting every student in achieving their personal best.
The IGCSEs represent a significant milestone in their educational journey. They provide invaluable experience of preparing for and sitting formal external examinations - helping students develop the resilience, focus, and skills they will need for future challenges such as the IB Diploma Programme, university studies, and beyond.
The IGCSE is an internationally recognised qualification, respected by universities and employers around the world. Examination boards such as Cambridge maintain a global reputation for excellence, ensuring that BISS Puxi students are well-positioned to take their next steps in education and beyond.
These exceptional results reflect not only the hard work and dedication of the students but also the commitment and expertise of the teachers who guide and support them throughout their learning journey.
