St. Clare's is delighted to announce another set of good results in May 2008. Our average score was 32.82; we felt that it was a good reflection of the year group.

We achieved:

• A 96% overall pass rate and an average points score of 32.82
• 40 students with 35 points or more (considered equivalent to 4.5 grade As at A level) = 36.36%.
• 11 students with 40 points or more = 10.0%.
• 1 student with 45 points, the maximum possible score achieved by only 72 students worldwide last year.
• 1 student with 44 points.

This is the fifth consecutive year in which we have had 44 and 45 point students, an outstanding achievement in the fiercely competitive IB environment.
