Our pupils and teachers can be very pleased with our strongest ever set of examination results . The Upper Sixth achieved our highest ever proportion of top grades at Higher Level – over 89 per cent of Higher Level subjects were graded 7 or 6 . The overall IB average stands at a phenomenal 40.6 , well ahead of 2011 ’ s previous record of 39.9 .
Twenty-four students achieved the maximum of 45 points – the previous record was 14 – with 143 students gaining diplomas of 40 or more points . While IB league tables do not take into account cohort size , it is fair to say that our results are among the best in the world , as no other school comes close to achieving such impressive results with such a large number of students .
Year 11 impressed similarly . Their overall scores are an improvement on last year ’ s , while being overall our second best by some distance : 74 per cent of entries were graded A *, and 94 per cent were graded A * or A . Over a third of the year group , 60 students , gained ten or more A * s .
