The pass rate is currently 97%. All our students taking the IB Diploma scored 26 points or more; there was one student who was not awarded a diploma despite
achieving 28 points overall.
A number of students are within one point of the next grade boundary in several subjects and so we anticipate that our 2017 results may be even stronger
following remarks, and might result in an increased number of students on the School Honours Board.
Many students have secured places at prestigious universities worldwide; Wilfred Lau, Ruben Pohle and Maria Swietlinska secured places at UCL, Francois
Husson at St Andrews, Carol Chi and Almaz Khabibullin secured places at the University of Edinburgh, and Julia Sojka at Oxford University to read Jewish
Studies. Of the twenty-four students who applied to university 19 (79%) have already secured a place at university (12 at their first choice) and several others
are within one point of their offers, and may yet be accepted. With UCAS Clearing opening early this year we would hope to place all students in the next few
weeks as we successfully achieved for all 2016 UCAS applicants.
