We're incredibly proud of our students' individual and collective achievements - including their impressive academic results - which reflect their hard work, talent, and determination, as well as our commitment to personalised education.
Academic results
Our students achieve excellent grades in their exams. In both IGCSEs (Years 10 and 11) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (Years 12 and 13), our students consistently achieve above the global average, which propels them to outstanding higher education institutions across the world.

We're inclusive and proud!
We're extremely proud of all our students' results. A significant number of our IBDP students worked extremely hard just to achieve passing scores of 24 or 25 points - scores that helped them get into respected universities around the world on courses they'd targeted.
We know that some schools may have told these students they didn’t have the aptitude for the Diploma or pulled them from the course when their Year 1 grade needed improving. But we believe that young people should be ambitious, and we're proud of these students who persevered and succeeded. Not allowing them to take the Diploma would easily boost our Diploma average, but that's not the school we are.
We're equally proud of our highest attaining students who regularly score above 40 points, ranking them among the top few percent of students in the world. The number of students attaining this highest standard varies from year-to-year, at an average of 8-10%.
