These results reflect the combined results for the A Level and Higher Level IB scores.

Note: IB students take six subjects, three at higher level and three at standard level. The scores achieved in the higher level subjects are comparable to an A Level grade, so for example a point score of 7 is equivalent to an A* at A Level.

  • 98% of pupils achieved five or more passes at grades A* -C.
  • 48% of all grades were A*/A; 20% were at A*.
