WINDERMERE SCHOOL'S SECOND BEST EVER RESULT
Windermere School’s Class of 2020 secured the best ever result for the second time in the Core. The Core is made up of three required components that aim to broaden students’ educational experience and challenges them to apply their knowledge and skills.
The Extended Essay is a mini dissertation and is excellent preparation for higher education; Theory of Knowledge is a philosophical course in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and Creativity, Activity and Service allows students to take part in a range of experiences and do what they feel passionate about. The Core is unique to the Diploma Programme and is particularly attractive to universities.
These are highly recognised components have often secured our students’ offers. This year, our mean Core score was 1.97 (out of 3), exceeding the world average in 2018 by 0.75 points.
