Fantastic IB results for Royal High School students

23 Sep 2016

This year, once again, we are celebrating a superb set of examination results from our International Baccalaureate students. And, once again, we have maintained the school’s 100% record of IB students achieving their Oxford offer.

This year’s cohort maintained an average score of 37 out of a possible 45 points, which is 7 points above the world average. Four of our girls scored 40+ points, an incredible achievement, and one of the two highest scorers, both of whom finished with 43 points, deserves particular credit given that she is a year young.

The majority of our IB students are going on to Russell Group universities, though we also celebrate those who choose to follow their excellent academic success with other career choices, such as following an Art Foundation course. We are also thrilled to have students going on to study a truly wide range of different subjects, from two girls pursuing medical careers, to two working in Psychology, one pursuing a course at the LSE in Social Anthropology, one studying for an Oxford degree in French and one taking Computer Science.
Grades were particularly high in English A HL, History SL and Group 2 – the Modern Foreign Languages group – where all scores were 6 or 7. Congratulations go to the teachers in those departments.

We are very proud indeed of our girls’ performance, and continue to believe whole-heartedly in the IB as an excellent preparation for university and for life in our global society.

IB Coordinator, Anna Weston, said: “I am thrilled for them, and proud of all that they have learned and given to the school. This IB cohort was a particularly caring and cohesive group; they worked hard, played hard and cared deeply for each other. They deserve everything that they have achieved.”
