Students at King Edward’s Witley have exceeded the worldwide average score with their International Baccalaureate Diploma results.
The Diploma programme is followed by the majority of the school’s Sixth Form pupils. Ching Ya Ho achieved a 44 points out of 45 and now intends to take a gap year before going to university in 2019. Remi Trovo achieved 43 points to earn him a place at Warwick University to read international politics, with Victoria Berger scoring 40 points.
Headmaster John Attwater said: “I am delighted for our students that these results reflect their hard work and dedication and that of our teachers. We should not underestimate the organisation and commitment of these young men and women in studying six subjects to a high level alongside the other aspects of the Diploma: the Extended Essay, which is such good preparation for University, and the Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) pursuits which help develop the attributes that employers, universities and society are looking for in the next generations of leaders.
“Especially in these turbulent times as the impact of Brexit is becoming felt, the IB’s reputation as a global-facing gold standard in world education has never been more important in demonstrating that our students are among the best in, and ready to engage with the rest of, the world.”
