The Times: St Clare’s sits among the top 30 IB Schools
Outstanding results
Our fantastic IB Diploma results have cemented our place among the top co-ed schools in the UK according to The Times newspaper’s recently published league table.
We have been placed 26th in the ranking. This league table is based on the percentage of IB Higher Level Diploma scores at 6 or 7 and A Level grades at A* and A grade.
Not only that, more than a quarter of our candidates achieved 40 points or higher which means that they are in the top 5% of students worldwide. Our average score was 36.1 which is considerably above the world average.
Perhaps the most astonishing statistic is that no fewer than four of our candidates achieved the perfect score of 45 points, only awarded to 0.2% of students across the globe.
University offers
2017 has proved to be an excellent year for university entry too. The vast majority of our students achieved places at their first choice university.
As well as this, six students received places at the University of Oxford and Cambridge University. One student won a full scholarship at Harvard University and four achieved places at prestigious medical schools.
Moreover, one student has won a place on the University of Southern California’s elite World Business Bachelor’s course which is run in partnership with Bocconi and Hong Kong University. Also , one student won a place at the exclusive Courtauld Institute in London.
Overall, 47% of St Clare’s leavers will be attending World Top 100 universities in the UK, USA and Europe.
