College news - school league tables

St. Clare's ranked 25th in the UK and number one in Oxfordshire

In January 2011 the UK government released its league tables for all schools in England and St. Clare's was delighted to be ranked 25th for schools in England, 11th for independent sixth form schools or colleges and number one in Oxfordshire. The league tables look at how secondary schools performed in the IB and in A Levels for the 2010 examinations and calculate the average points scored per student.

Our results are particularly noteworthy because St. Clare's is not a selective college and because many of our students speak English as a second language. We put down our success to a combination of factors - small class sizes, students who are serious about their work, the stimulating experience provided by the IB curriculum, excellent teachers and a supportive environment where young adults are able to flourish.
