Bryce Purcell [MYP Coordinator] said: “The 2023-4 MYP e-assessment session for externally moderated IB results and programme certification proved very strong this year. With 100% of eligible M5 students receiving their IB-MYP certificates there is certainly reason to celebrate! Overall individual mark totals and subject averages across 270 IB schools [in 72 countries] This too proved to be extremely competitive, reflecting successful class preparation and performance in the M5. Congratulations to all!’
Anne-Laure Bazin [DP Coordinator] said: “I am extremely proud of our students, who have achieved a 100% pass rate across the full IB Diploma. Their success reflects their dedication to academic excellence and personal development over the past two years. I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of our DP teaching and support staff, whose dedication has been vital in supporting our students through this challenging course of study.”
Charlie Judd [Head of Secondary] said: “These results reflect the hard work and resilience our students have shown throughout their time on the IB Diploma Programme. It has been inspiring to watch them grow academically and personally, and I am confident they are well prepared for any challenges that lie ahead. I would like to thank our teachers and support staff for their exceptional efforts in leading our students to success.”
