Having won awards for their International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results for the past four years, Cheltenham Ladies’ College Sixth Form students were delighted to receive their results on Monday, which saw the highest average points for three years.

With the largest cohort of IB students since CLC started teaching the Diploma, pupils achieved an average of 39.4 points and a 100% pass rate. The world average in 2014 was 30.1 points. The pass mark is 24 points out of a possible 45, with over 50% of CLC students scoring 40 points or more this year.

These achievements have been acknowledged by some of the world’s leading universities, with offers from Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, KCL, Manchester, Nottingham and UCL. Girls will also be studying at Duke, Columbia and Stanford universities in USA.

The IB Class of 2015 is progressing into a wide range of academic disciplines including Accountancy, Architecture, Economics, English, History, Languages, Medicine, Politics and Philosophy and Vet Science.

Principal Ms Eve Jardine-Young said: “The girls have loved studying this programme, and feel it has prepared them extremely well for the next stage”.

CLC student Catherine Song scored the maximum 45/45 points awardable for the Diploma. This was achieved by only 208 of all IB students worldwide last year, amounting to well under 1% of the total entry of over 67,000 students, from schools in 137 countries.

In addition, five CLC girls achieved Bilingual Diplomas meaning that two languages were mastered to a native speaker standard (German, French and Chinese). Two girls, Emma Bryan and Radha Jain, scored 44 points and achieved a maximum 7/7 in all six of their chosen subjects in the IB Diploma. Three other girls, Ore Akingbolagu, Katherine Malone and Laura Scriba scored 7/7 in all three Higher Level subjects.
