Celebrating an Outstanding Set of IB Results

Average score of 36, three students achieving 44/45, and nearly a quarter of the cohort scoring 40 points or above

We are delighted to share a fantastic set of IB results for 2026 – among the best, or equal to the best, our school has recorded in the last ten years on most metrics (excluding the COVID years).

Our students achieved an average score of 36 points, alongside an overall pass rate of 98%, up from 95% last year. 60% of students scored above 36 points, and 90% of students scored above 30 points, against a global average that typically sits around 30 points.

23% of our students achieved 40 points or more this year, a significant rise from 7% last year. We are especially proud of three students who achieved 44 out of a possible 45 points.

We set our students up for success and, following detailed advice and guidance on the best course selection, welcome students from a wide range of abilities onto our IB Diploma pathway. We support students who want to stretch themselves, and we are delighted that their hard work and commitment – with the support of the community around them – has meant that students have been able to achieve at all levels.

A wide variety of students have earned their full IB Diploma this year, a qualification that opens doors for university, work, and life beyond school, and represents a significant achievement.

These results are the product of hard work from our students, dedicated teaching from our staff, and steady support from families throughout the two-year programme. Every point on this year’s results represents a story of effort, growth, and perseverance.

Head of Secondary, James Johnson, shared his reflections on the results:

“This year’s results represent first and foremost a fantastic achievement for our students and stand as testament to their hard work and dedication. These results also represent the care and dedication of staff as our learning community continues to go from strength to strength. With students achieving so brilliantly at all levels, and with nearly a quarter of our students achieving 40+ points, we couldn’t be more proud.”

We congratulate every student on their results and wish them the very best as they move on to the next chapter of their journey, whether that’s university, further study, or new adventures beyond school.

Well done to the Class of 2026 – we are proud of you!

 

Please note: these results are interim, pending final confirmation from the IB in the coming days.
