Congratulations to the 41 Sixth Formers who received their outstanding IB results, with an average score of 40.2 (out of a possible 45) prior to any remarks - the second highest in Whitgift history. Four students scored a perfect 45 (something achieved by fewer than 1% of students across the world) - a new Whitgift record. Every grade awarded was between 5-7 (broadly equivalent to A*-B at A Level) - another Whitgift record - and significantly over half the cohort scored 40 points or more.
Edmund White, Director of IB, stated "I am immensely proud of this cohort, and they deserve enormous credit. Their work ethic, dedication, and sheer good humour means that these results are richly deserved. Not only that, but they have achieved these whilst helping out in the community as well as participating in sports, music, and drama. As they head on to prestigious higher education establishments such as Oxford, Cambridge, Kings, UCL, Imperial, and more, I wish them the very best for a future - one that is, for them, exceptionally bright."
A note from the Headmaster to all IB students
I am absolutely delighted for these boys who have not only performed wonderfully well in their IB examinations but have done so whilst also making hugely significant contributions to our community here at Whitgift. They go out into the world very much ready to make a positive difference and we look forward to celebrating their ongoing successes.
