Windermere School’s Class of 2022 have achieved outstanding International Baccalaureate (IB) results with a IBDP average of 33 points, a one hundred per cent pass rate, and the school’s highest ever number of bilingual diplomas: 47%. This means that almost half of all our graduating students completed elements of the course across two different languages putting them in a commanding position for both university and career outcomes.

A total of twenty-nine students sat the IB this year. Seventeen of the cohort were Diploma students, three of whom will claim their place on the School Honours Board, which recognises IB students who achieve 40 points or more.  Bethan Handy achieved 41 points with Amber Kenny and Theodore Williams achieving 40. These are extraordinary achievements, as only 7% of IB candidates globally achieve more than 40 points.

On the strength of the recent results, over 70% of pupils immediately secured their first-choice courses at prestigious universities. This figure is in-line with our five-year average. A further 13% secured their insurance choice, and the remainder successfully secured places through the Clearing process. These universities included University College London, Exeter University, Edinburgh University, St. Andrews and the University of Manchester.
