The IB Diploma is a very well established and highly regarded international qualification and students are choosing to study for the IB rather than traditional British A' levels. St. Clare's has a worldwide reputation as experts in providing the IB Diploma. No other school or college in England has been teaching the IB longer than St. Clare's and there are only 13 other institutions in the world who have taught the IB longer than us.

St. Clare's, has the best sixth form results in Oxfordshire and has the 9th best sixth form results amongst independent schools in England. Our recent examination results are the best ever. 99% of students at St. Clare's passed the International Baccalaureate Diploma (against a world-wide pass rate of less than 80%) and one student achieved the perfect score of 45 points, the highest possible score in the IB. To look at the pattern of our recent IB results, please follow this link.

We always encourage students and parents to visit the college so they can get a much better idea of just how successful we are at preparing our students, not just for the IB, but for their future studies and careers. The College had been awarded the highest rating for the quality of its boarding after a recent Ofsted inspection in November 2009, something that fewer than 10% of boarding schools achieve in the UK.
