Public examination results Our students and teachers can be very pleased with our excellent examination results. The Upper Sixth achieved quite outstanding results – the overall IB average stands at 39.4, about ten points above the world average. At 224, this was our largest cohort yet, and we are very pleased to achieve this level of success across the group. An impressive 16 students achieved 45 points. Year 11 impressed similarly with a mixture of Sevenoaks School Certificates, International GCSEs and national GCSEs: 87.3% of entries were graded at A*/A or equivalent, and 116 students out of 159 achieved nine or more A*/A equivalent. We do not, on principle, participate in league tables, but it is worth noting that these results position us as one of the very top schools, both in the UK and in the global IB community. These pleasing results confirm our view that good examination results and university places follow naturally as a consequence of our continuing focus on the all-round education of our students. We congratulate all of our students on these results. Theresa Homewood IB artwork by Martha Reeve, Upper Sixth 8 8 M I I C C R R E E V V I I E E W W A A C C A A D D E E M
