IB Results 2017

Posted: 06/07/2017

International Baccalaureate Diploma students at Bromsgrove School have this year recorded the School’s highest ever average score of 39.1 points.

Every student entered gained their diploma with half of them receiving formal recognition of their bilingualism. More than two-fifths of pupils scored 40 points or more with the ‘average’ candidate scoring the equivalent of more than four A* grades at A Level.

Speaking about Bromsgrove School’s International Baccalaureate results, the Director of the IB Programme Dr Michael Thompson said that he is bowled over by the pupils’ achievements. ‘We are absolutely delighted by the average of 38.8 which places us amongst the very top IB schools in the country. This is a demanding course and students and teachers have once again excelled.’

Comparing the results to the more traditional A level grades, 40.3% of Bromsgrove’s IB students scored level 7 which is equivalent to an A* at A Level, with 88% scoring at least level 6, equivalent to an A grade at A Level.

The overwhelming majority of this year’s cohort will begin their undergraduate studies at prestigious Russel Group universities such as St Andrews, UCL, Imperial and KCL, but a number are looking forward to studying abroad at Chicago, NYU Abu Dhabi and the University of British Colombia.
