Best ever IB results to celebrate 50 years of success at St. Clare's
In a decade of steady improvement in the IB results, there have often
been years when we could point to either a record percentage pass rate
for the IB Diploma, or to a record points average for our Diploma students.
The year 2003 will go down in St. Clare's history as a double success.
82 out of 86 Diploma students gained the Diploma, giving at 95.3% our
best ever pass rate. Coupled with this was an average points score of
33.7, a comfortable increase on last year's record of 33.2. We hope that
this improvement reflects higher standards of teaching, combined with
an increased skill at identifying student problems and giving them productive
assistance.
Top scoring students were Anthony Grout; Marcela Rehakova and Wang Xiao
Ou, all with 43 points. Between them they reflect well the ability and
diversity of St. Clare's students. Anthony is British, and came to us
from a well-known public school because he wanted to move to a college
where students can take on more responsibility for themselves. He plans
to go to the University of Sussex to study Anthropology and Spanish. Marcela
is Czech, and she will study medicine in either Prague or Birmingham.
Xiao is Chinese, from Tsingtao (famous for its beer), and she plans to
study Maths and Statistics at Imperial College. Further details about
our graduates' university destinations can be seen here.
Results may improve further as we await the outcome of certain re-marks
currently taking place.
